Assets

Assets Description: Assets such as virtual machines, applications, and repositories that are monitored by the platform.

Assets are objects monitored by the platform that you can govern, for example: file/folder, database, virtual machine, application. Assets can be accessed from the Inventory menu.

The Assets page displays the assets in your organization in a simple table that shows the asset type (both in the platform and at the source), how many incidents are open about it, and the associated tags.

If a table in any of the pages becomes excessively large, you can focus your display with the help of search and filters.

The Assets Page

You can view the Assets page from Inventory > Assets.

The Assets page opens to display all the identities in your organization. You can see how many Assets you have, how many Incidents are opened in their name, and Identity Tags.

Filter and modify the table display

By default, the Assets table is sorted by number of incidents, in descending order.

To customize the table view, you can:

  • filter the content displayed. The full list of filters is described in Inventory Filter Properties.

  • save a filter as a Collection to be used in other parts of the platform

  • change the sort order

  • change the display of columns

  • use tags

  • export the data to a CSV

  • see a quick view of an entity

  • zoom in on a group by displaying its single-entity view

These filter and display options are described in full in Inventories User Interface.

You can also investigate an entity in Access Explorer, by clicking , as described in Access Explorer.

Insight into selected table data

  • The Type column displays the platform “normalized” type name (e.g. all types of databases are referred to as “database”).

  • The Origin Type column displays the type names from the original product (e.g. MySQL).

  • In the Incidents column, click the value to see all incidents related to an Identity. The Incidents page opens with the right-side viewing pane showing the first incident. Click a different incident to see its details.
