Gather Monitor Inventory information

Hello all,

In 7.1 how do we gather monitor inventory information.  I have found several references to 6.9 but nothing in relationship to 7.1.  Currently I have an external process that gathers monitor inventory information and ingests it into Altiris and assigned ownership.  But isn't there an automated method I could use within Altiris itself, write a special custom inventory or something?

Any guidance would be helpful.
