Add a few missing fields to Linux systems

Hi,

we have a few Linux and Xen systems which are of course not scanned by PDQ, even they are domain members.

PDQ Inventoy only lists their name and the IP address.

I'd like to add some basic Information like OS Version manually to those system records in PDQ so a report will hold all Information.

Any way to do that? Thanks...

I've done this for a lot of non-Window systems but the only way I know of is modifying the PDQ inventory database directly. I use SQLiteBrowser to make small changes but anything I'm doing at any kind of scale I do through PowerShell module called SQLiteQuery. Both SQLiteBrowser and the PowerShell module are available online.

Just in case they aren't obvious, the database you need to access is here:

"C:\ProgramData\Admin Arsenal\PDQ Inventory\Database.db"

and the table you need to modify is "Computers".

You can also use File > Preferences > Custom Fields and create a custom field to contain the OS information. The custom fields can then be added to a report.
