Lansweeper¶
The Lansweeper application allows you to retrieve various information about your dashboards. You will need to provide the Site ID of the site you wish to access. To find this, go to "Configuration," then "Site settings," and copy-paste the Site ID during your Instance creation. Options
- Name*: A simple label for easier identification in the SenHub interface.
- Description: For your personal reference only.
- Vault: Select the appropriate vault for this resource from the list box.
- Group: optional — assign this instance to a group to organise it within SenHub.
- Resource Types*: Choose the appropriate Resource Types from the list box. Eight types of information can be retrieved:
- General Overview
- Assets
- Inventory Health
- Security
- Software
- OT Overview
- Lifecycle
- Vulnerabilities (Access to vulnerability data requires a Pro subscription plan or higher)
- Site*: The Site ID that you choose to access.
\ ⚠️ Don't forget that many SaaS vendors limit the frequency of requests to their APIs. This is the case with Lansweeper, which returns an error if consumption is exceeded. If this happens to you, don't worry! Simply reduce the frequency of your requests in your monitoring tool.
Example output
The channels returned depend on the selected Resource Type. Each type pushes its own set of count metrics. For example, General Overview, Security and Lifecycle return:

{ "channel": "Devices out of warranty", "value": 60 },
{ "channel": "Workstations with antivirus disabled", "value": 5 }
],
