On the initial screen of the WhaTap monitoring service, select a project, and then select the Server Inventory menu under the Server List menu. Server Inventory provides configuration information required for server operations and allows you to manually add management items for management convenience.

The Server Inventory menu systematically manages the physical and virtual characteristics of the server, as well as the operating environment. This feature allows for detailed insight and management of the server configuration through automatically collected server components and custom items. Server Inventory provides essential data for performance analysis and troubleshooting of the server.

You can manage essential information required for server operation and management, as well as custom items that are automatically collected. This allows server administrators to monitor and operate their infrastructure more systematically and efficiently. Use the filters and sorting feature to easily find the information you need.
