SoftwareSignature¶
A software signature is a unique pattern detected by software scan, like a fingerprint that a particular software leaves on machines.
Fields¶
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| AnalysisExtras | xml | Holds extra data that is used internally by OctoSAM |
| Architecture | string | Architecture field from the Windows Installer Registry or from process executable information |
| BaseVersion | string | Signature version determined by per-product logic within OctoSAM for signatures where uniform versioning has a special relevance such as Java |
| Comments | string | Comment field from the Windows installer registry |
| Contact | string | Contact field from the Windows Installer Registry |
| Created | datetime | Time this object was created |
| CreatedGUID | guid | Scan GUID that created this Software Signature |
| CustomField1 | string | Custom Data - not used by OctoSAM Inventory |
| CustomField2 | string | Custom Data - not used by OctoSAM Inventory |
| CustomField3 | string | Custom Data - not used by OctoSAM Inventory |
| CustomField4 | string | Custom Data - not used by OctoSAM Inventory |
| Dynamic | boolean | A dynamic signature is a signature that is not present on every scan. For example information about running processes. Dynamic signature relations to machines are not immediately removed if not found in a .single scan file. |
| ExactVersion | string | Some scanners provide a detailed signature version for special signatures such as Java, where exact build version can be of interest. |
| ExtraData | string | Extra data for this software signature that is used internally by OctoSAM |
| Guid | guid | A unique ID that can be used to link to this object by external applications |
| HelpLink | string | HelpLink Field from the Windows Installer Registry |
| ID | numeric | Internal ID for the SoftwareSignature entity (Primary Key) |
| ID | numeric | Internal ID for the SoftwareSignature entity (Primary Key) |
| Info | string | Info field from Windows Registry and Mac system_profiler |
| InstallationApproved | boolean | If true, installation of this signature is approved on all machines |
| InstallationApprovedChanged | datetime | Date/Time the installation approval flag was last changed |
| InstallationApprovedChangedBy | string | User that last changed the installation approval flag |
| Junk | boolean | True if the signature is considered junk by junk filter rules |
| Language | numeric | Language code from the Windows Installer Registry |
| LastModification | datetime | Date/Time this Signature record was last modified through the OctoSAM Inventory UI |
| LastScan | datetime | Date/Time this signature was last scanned on any machine |
| LicensingRelevant | boolean | For software packages with licensing type multiple, this can indicate a commercial signature. Requires additional detection Logic in OctoSAM. Used for example for Java Packages that have free and paid update levels. |
| MayRemainAfterUninstall | boolean | This can be used for static signatures that are left behind on product uninstall. For example some Adobe products leave the SWID tag file on uninstall. |
| MD5Hash | string | Reserved for future use. Unique Hash over multiple columns, used to speed up the import service and to discern software signatures in future versions. |
| Notes | string | Custom notes |
| ObjectStateID | numeric | Internal ID that references the ObjectState entity (Foreign Key) |
| Path | string | Installation location of a software component |
| ProductCode | string | ProductCode from the Windows Installer Registry |
| ProductName | string | ProductName from either the Windows Installer Registry or from process version resource |
| RawPublisher | string | Publisher of the software (raw information as seen by the scan, see SoftwarePublisher table for normalized publisher information). |
| ReleaseType | string | Some software such as Oracle Java is available in different release types. The values in this field are specific to the software or publisher. |
| ReportedToCentral | datetime | For installations with central reporting of new signatures, timestamp when the signature was reported. |
| Res1 | string | Reserved for internal use of future versions |
| Res2 | string | Reserved for internal use of future versions |
| RewritingRuleName | string | Name of the last rule that was applied at signature rewriting |
| Rewritten | boolean | True if the Signature field was rewritten by signature rewriting rules |
| ScanHint | string | Octoscan can place additional information about found software signatures that can be used for rewriting |
| ScanSignature | string | The Signature as reported by Octoscan2 (without Signature Rewriting) |
| Signature | string | Signature after signature rewriting process. Used to uniquely identify a software signature object. |
| SoftwarePackageID | numeric | Internal ID that references the SoftwarePackage entity (Foreign Key) |
| SoftwarePublisherID | numeric | Internal ID that references the SoftwarePublisher entity (Foreign Key) |
| SwidSignature | boolean | True if the signature was generated from an SWID tag file |
| SystemComponent | boolean | SystemComponent Flag from the Windows Installer Registry |
| UrlInfoAbout | string | UrlInfoAbout Field from the Windows Installer Registry |
| UrlUpdateInfo | string | UrlUpdateInfo Field from the Windows Installer Registry |
| Version | string | Version Information from the MSI registry (if known) |
| VersionMajor | numeric | VersionMajor Field from the Windows installer registry |
| VersionMinor | numeric | VersionMinor Field from the Windows installer registry |
| Virtualized | boolean | True if a signature stems from a virtualization system such as App-V |
