USM Anywhere gives you the option to enable or disable asset inventory alerts. You can configure your USM Anywhere to generate an event whenever a new asset is detected.

> [!NOTE]
>
> **Note:** Enabling this feature will generate system events for each newly
> discovered asset or service. Be prepared for an influx of system events when
> enabling this feature. It is recommended to run a few initial asset discovery
> scans to get a baseline prior to enabling this feature.

**To enable event creation upon asset detection**

1. Go to **Settings > System**, and then select **Inventory Settings**.
2. Toggle on \*\*Generate a System Event on Inventory Changes\*\* to enable this setting.
   Toggle this off to disable event creation.
