# Software Inventory

The software inventory lists all programs that the Pulsar agent has detected on a server or client.It therefore provides you with a complete overview of the software used on the one hand and the option of using the search bar to search your hosts for specific software on the other.

{% hint style="info" %}
With the export function, you can export both complete views and filtered results directly from the platform.This gives you the flexibility to save and process exactly the data that is relevant for your analyses or reports.

Would you also like to take an inventory of software that has not been installed with a regular installation program?Activate [extended software monitoring](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/host-pulsar-agent/hostdetails.md#einstellungen) in the settings of the individual host or via the Policy Manager.
{% endhint %}

### Export view

For documentation purposes or to transfer the data to other software, you can export the results as a list (.csv). There are two options available to you:

* Export view: Create a list of the currently displayed software. Use this option, for example, to create a list of the servers and clients on which a particular software is installed.
* Export everything: Create a list of the entire inventory. This option is particularly important for documentation purposes.
