# Software Inventory

The software inventory provides an overview of all software applications detected by the Pulsars installed on your hosts.

The [software inventory overview](#software-inventory-overview) and the [software detail view](#software-detail-view) provide information such as:

* the name of the detected software application.
* how many times the software application is installed.
* on which hosts the software application is installed.

You can also [export](#export-lists) either the entire software inventory or a filtered view.
