Belarc BelManage

Belarc BelManage is an IT asset management and configuration monitoring platform that provides automated discovery, CMDB generation, software license tracking, security configuration visibility, and compliance reporting across enterprise infrastructure.

Use Cases the Adapter Solves

  • Software License Optimization: Track installed software across all devices to identify unused licenses, optimize software spend, and ensure compliance with vendor licensing agreements.
  • Security Benchmark Compliance: Monitor security configuration benchmarks (CIS, DISA STIG, NIST) across your device fleet to identify configuration drift and maintain compliance with security standards.
  • Comprehensive IT Asset Visibility: Gain centralized visibility into hardware configurations, software inventory, network information, and organizational unit assignments for all devices managed by BelManage.

Asset Types Fetched

  • Devices, Software, SaaS Applications

Data Retrieved through the Adapter

Devices - Fields such as Hostname, Domain, Serial Number, Operating System

Software - Fields such as Name, Vendor, Version,Last Used Date

Before You Begin

Required Ports

  • TCP port 1433 (SQL Server / TDS)

Authentication Methods

SQL Server Authentication

The adapter authenticates to the BelManage SQL Server database using SQL Server authentication with a username and password. The adapter connects directly to the database using the FreeTDS driver over TCP port 1433.

Database Access

Axonius connects directly to the BelManage SQL Server database and executes SQL queries against the following tables:

  • SELECT query on Computers table - Retrieves device information including hostname, domain, hardware details, network configuration, and operating system
  • SELECT query on BenchmarkStatusByProfile table - Retrieves security benchmark assessment data (CIS, DISA STIG, etc.)
  • SELECT query on SoftwareByListByProfileSum table - Retrieves installed software inventory with usage tracking

Note: No public API documentation is available for the BelManage database

Required Permissions

The SQL Server account used by the adapter must have the following permissions:

It is recommended to use the Principle of Least Privilege by assigning the service account only the db_datareader role.

  • SELECT permission on the Computers table - Required to retrieve device inventory data.
  • SELECT permission on the BenchmarkStatusByProfile table - Required to retrieve security benchmark information.
  • SELECT permission on the SoftwareByListByProfileSum table - Required to retrieve software inventory data.

Supported From Version

Supported from Axonius version 8.0.23

Setting Up Belarc BelManage to Work with Axonius

  1. Identify the hostname or IP address of your BelManage SQL Server
  2. Identify the BelManage database name (default database name may vary based on installation)
  3. The best practice is to create a dedicated SQL Server account for Axonius with read-only access:
  4. For details about creating an Axonius user for Microsoft SQL Server, see Creating a Local Read-Only User for Microsoft SQL Server.
  5. Grant the login access to the BelManage database
  6. Grant permissions to the tables
  7. Note the username and password for use in the Axonius adapter configurationץ

To connect to the SQL instance you have to enable TCP.
