Customizing scan criteria

EMCO Network Inventory enables you create custom scans that can search for particular files, registries, or services on LAN machines. This enables you to create scan information on files which are particularly important for your specific LAN.

To customize scan criteria:

  1. Click on the Custom Search Queries > Custom Scan Criteria menu option.

  2. Click on the one of the options in the Insert menu.

  3. Enter the display name of the scan in the Display Name field. For ease of reference make sure that this is a meaningful title.

  4. Enter the path to the file name in the File Name field.

  5. If you need the filename to match existing application version, click on the Match tick box and enter the version information in the Version field (the Version Information button button will auto-populate this field with existing version information).

  6. Repeat the above steps as many times as required.

  7. You can export or import custom scan files (.csc), if required. To view Customized Scan data obtain from command line scans (refer to Scanning via the command line for more information), export a file as Default.csc to the Data subfolder below C:\Program Files\Emco Network Inventory 3.0\.

  8. Make sure the Custom Scan option is ticked (check in the Options tab in the main EMCO Network Inventory window - refer to Setting options for more information.). From now on, all scans (including fetch and update functions) will include the entered applications (refer to Scanning a LAN for more information about scanning).
