1. A method comprising:
determining, by a manageability controller of a server, whether a tamper detection is enabled, wherein the tamper detection is enabled to monitor changes in a set of hardware devices that are separate from the server and connected to an enclosure hosted in the server;
in response to determining that the tamper detection is enabled, determining, by the manageability controller, whether there is a change in a hardware device of the set of hardware devices by comparing a current hardware configuration of the set of hardware devices with a baseline hardware configuration of the set of hardware devices;
in response to determining that there is a change in the hardware device, determining, by the manageability controller, whether the change in the hardware device is authorized based on a permissible hardware change for the hardware device; and
transmitting, in response to determining that the change in the hardware device is authorized, information associated with the change in the hardware device to a chassis manager for the chassis manager to update an inventory database, wherein the chassis manager is communicatively coupled to the manageability controller and the set of hardware devices in an enclosure.
