[ale] Server Record Keeping

[Björn Gustafsson]

I don't know if this helps, but I think what you're looking for is a
configuration management database, or CMDB.  There may be some
open-source ones out there in the world.  The commercial ones are
pretty expensive, and work best when paired with a discovery tool that
catalogs the information for you.
