Assign threat levels to services

Assign threat levels to services

To manage services that might pose threats to devices and systems, you can manually assign threat levels to those services.

Threat levels can be used to indicate the relative safety of items and the number of devices on which those items are located. This information is for tracking purposes only. The appliance does not enforce policies based on threat levels.

1.
Go to the Services list:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Inventory, then click Services.
2.
Select the check box next to one or more services.
3.
Select Choose Action > Set Threat Level, and then select a threat level.

Delete services

Delete services

You can manually delete services from inventory as needed.

However, if the deleted services are found on managed devices, the records for those services are recreated, with new IDs, when the devices update inventory information.

1.

Custom Inventory rules enable you to capture customized information during the inventory collection process.

Custom Inventory rules are useful for:

•
Managing software that is not listed in the Windows Add/Remove Programs section.
•
Managing versions of software with the same entry in the Windows Add/Remove Programs section, especially with incorrect or incomplete Display Version information.
•
Capturing customized details for use in reports.
•
Writing deployment rules, scripts, and reports based on the presence of an application or a value that is not reported by the KACE Agent.
