Part 5: Device Management
As we reviewed previously, adding devices requires that you first create an Indeni User in the management system for the device you want to add. Once you have completed that you will then need to add the Indeni User to the Credential Set, which can be done by clicking on the tab located to the right of Devices located in the border above the filter bar.
Once you have successfully added devices, you can Filter the devices by Keyword or Labels. You can sort by Device Name or Issue severities. You can also generate device Report, create Labels, Delete devices or Suspend them if you’re doing maintenance and then Resume automation later.
In order to activate the device options, a device must first be added and selected.
In this example, all devices were selected, which activated the device options and also gives a quick count overview in Device Summary. Device Summary is where you can review the issue details.
You cannot get device issues to show in Device Summary with multiple devices checked. Also, you do not need to have a device checked to see a more detailed issue review.
Clicking on an issue within Device Summary will take you to the Current Tab > Issue Summary.
Selecting More Device Info will give you a detailed review of the device details, including systems running in a container.
Device Report
The report has many options, so it is best to review them after you add a device. You can scroll through, or search by an area of interest, check multiple options and then export.
Helpful Hints
If you leverage filters to search through issues and devices, be sure to reset the filters once you are done. It could appear as though the system is not showing all the data.
