The Usage Collection Agent uses the file header information within each local executable file to determine whether that application meets defined filter criteria. You can use the file header information to determine what criteria to use when defining a filter.
To determine file header information:
The information contained in the Item name and Value boxes is used by the Usage Collection Agent to filter the available usage data (with the exception of the Language and Internal Name items, which are not currently supported).
Note: Be aware that not all executable files support or correctly populate values stored in the file header.
The following example describes how to create a filter to search for a specific application.
To filter usage data for notepad.exe:
Notepad
Yes
notepad.exe
Usage data will be sent to HPCA weekly and will include all usage data for Notepad for all devices that have the Usage Collection Agent installed.
