Component Inventory

To list the all the components installed in the device, open the Device view, select the device and select the Inventory tab.

A Component is defined by a Name, a Version and a Type. An ESF device supports the following types:

Type	Description
DEB	Represents a Linux Debian package
RPM	Represents a Linux RPM package
BUNDLES	Represents a OSGi Bundle
DP	represents a OSGi Deployment Package
DOCKER	represents a container
APK	represents a Linux Alpine APK package

Check the ESF Inventory documentation for more details regarding device components and types.

DEB, RPM and APK types are classified as System Packages. Bundles, Containers, System Packages and Deployment Packages can be queried independently and each of them has a dedicated sub-tab within the containing Inventory tab..
