# POST data structure sent to dashboard API
$postData = @{
    # Basic system info
    hostname = $computerName
    serialnumber = $serialNumber
    manufacturer = $manufacturer
    # ... [all basic fields]
    
    # Network configuration  
    networkInterfaces = $networkData
    
    # Manufacturing data
    dncConfigFound = $dncFound

🔄 Data Collection Workflow

1. System Information Collection

Get-ComputerInfo        # Basic system data
Get-WmiObject queries   # Hardware details

2. Network Interface Analysis

Get-WmiObject Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration | 
    Where-Object { $_.IPEnabled -eq $true }

3. Manufacturing Configuration Detection

Get-ShopfloorConfig     # DNC and GE registry analysis
Get-GERegistryInfo      # Architecture and DualPath detection

4. Data Aggregation & Transmission

# Combine all data sources
$postData = @{} + $systemInfo + $networkInfo + $manufacturingInfo

# Send to dashboard API
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $apiEndpoint -Method POST -Body $postData
