Automox Cloud discovery retrieves current details about your devices, operating systems, and software packages directly into Freshservice, which serves as the primary repository for your IT environment. By integrating these platforms, you can automate the synchronization of asset data, ensuring that your inventory reflects the latest state of your managed endpoints without manual entry.

This article describes the Automox discovery items, authentication requirements, and how to set up and schedule a discovery job.

You need the following before the installation:

  • Automox username and password are required for Freshservice to request a bearer token. Bearer token authentication is then used for subsequent requests.

  • Hardware make and model
