KACE Custom Inventory Rule Builder

Build, test, and reuse inventory rules for Quest KACE SMA.

Visually compose Custom Inventory Rules (CIR) for files, registry keys, environment variables, and shell checks—without memorizing syntax.

Rule Templates

Start with a pre-configured template for common scenarios to save time. Templates provide a starting structure that you can customize.

Tools

Save your work as JSON files for backup or sharing, and export documentation for your team. Rules can also be saved to your browser for easy reuse.

Import from JSON

Select JSON File

Import Existing KACE Rule

Paste a KACE rule string to import and edit it visually. This is useful for modifying existing rules or learning how they’re structured.

Note: Text import is temporarily disabled while parsing is improved. Use JSON import or build visually.

About KACE Custom Inventory Rules

Custom Inventory Rules in KACE SMA allow administrators to inventory items not covered by standard inventory, such as:

Specific files or versions in non-standard locations
Registry keys and values that indicate installed software
Environment variables that provide system information
Shell command output for custom checks
macOS plist values for Mac inventory

This tool helps construct proper rule syntax and validates your rules before they’re deployed to your KACE environment, reducing troubleshooting time and ensuring accurate inventory results.
