After IO has discovered your entities, they are visible throughout the IO user interface. The Inventory module provides a single location for viewing all of your IO entities.

Entities are organized into five categories: Applications, Conversations, Compute, Network, and Storage.

Use the search box to search for an entity using its name.

You can use the expand/collapse all buttons to expand or collapse the categories for easier view. Click on the arrow next to a category to expand it.

Counts on the Inventory landing page are cached and updated every five minutes. You can click the refresh icon on the Inventory landing page to update the counts.
