The Right Click Tools Insights Device Inventory page in your Recast Management Server displays information about the inventory classes that are created when you deploy the Recast Agent application for Insights. The data moves directly from the Recast Agent to your Recast Management Server database (via Recast Agent Gateway), meaning that you can access information for devices regardless of whether they are managed via ConfigMgr, Intune, ServiceNow, or other platforms.
Prerequisites
- Right Click Tools Insights license
- Insights installed with Recast Management Server and Recast Proxy
- Recast Agent application deployed to devices for which you want to see inventory class data
- Minimum Recast Software Version: 5.11.2512.1807
You can find the page in your Recast Management Server by navigating to Insights > Device Inventory. The list of Recast Agents is searchable and can be sorted by Device Name or Current User.
Device Inventory
The Device Inventory page displays the following information for all devices that have a Recast Agent:
- Device Name
- Current User - Displays one or more logged on users
- Last Check-In - Date and time that the device last reported information from its inventory classes
- Actions
- View Inventory - Click to view detailed inventory information for a specific device
NOTE: Clicking Export to CSV on the Device Inventory page will only export Device Name, Current User and Last Check-In data, not the full details for each device.
Rate Limiting for Inventory Requests
Beginning with Right Click Tools v5.12.2607, rate limiting implemented on the inventory Agent prevents excess SQL server load when a large number of agents attempt to send inventory concurrently. Agents will instead wait and try sending their inventory data when the server is less busy.

Common Scenarios
- A large number of devices come online at 8 am, having missed their last inventory windows, and are all queued up to send.
- After deploying several thousand Agents at the same time, they all attempt to send their initial inventory.
Device Details
The Device Details side panel displays information related to the attributes included in an inventory class. All classes and attributes are listed below.
Edit Columns: Where an inventory class includes more than 6 attributes, you can edit columns to add to or edit the attributes shown. The Device Details side panel currently reverts to displaying the default columns as soon as you switch tabs.
Export to CSV: To more easily view data for 6+ attributes, we recommend selecting and exporting all the columns you want to see.
NOTE: A specific class will only appear if there is information to display.
