Using Smart Labels with Discovery Results

Using Smart Labels with Discovery Results

Add Discovery Results Smart Labels
Changing the run order of Discovery Results Smart Labels

Smart Labels can be used to automatically assign labels to Discovery Results that meet specified criteria. This includes DNS, Socket, and SNMP results across a single subnet or multiple subnets.

Add Discovery Results Smart Labels

You can add Smart Labels for Discovery Results to group and manage results.

1.
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.
2.
Select Inventory > Discovery Results to display the Discovery Results page.
3.
Click the Smart Label tab above the list on the right to display the Smart Label panel.

The Smart Label panel contains a number of drop-down lists that you can use to specify criteria.

4.
Select Smart Label criteria:
◦
Select an attribute in the left-most drop-down list. For example: Device Info: Ping Test.
◦
Select a condition in the middle drop-down list. For example: has.
◦
Select the status attribute in the next drop-down list. For example: Failed.
5.
Click Test to display items that match the search criteria.
6.
Adjust the criteria as needed until the results are what you expect.
7.
In the Choose label drop-down list, do one of the following:
◦
Select an existing label to associate with the Smart Label. Type in the Choose label field to search for existing labels.
* 
NOTE: If you select a label group instead of a label, you will not be able to apply the Smart Label to a patching schedule. Patching schedules can only use Smart Labels based on a single item.
◦
Enter a new name for the Smart Label in the Choose label field, then press Enter or Return.
* 
NOTE: Press Enter or Return after you enter a new Smart Label name to move the text from the search field to the label field.
8.
Click Save.

The Smart Label is automatically applied to or removed from Discovery Results that meet the specified criteria. The next time the Discovery Schedule runs, the Smart Label is applied to discovered devices.

Changing the run order of Discovery Results Smart Labels

You can specify the order in which Smart Labels run by changing their order values.

Smart Labels have a default order value of 100, and Smart Labels with lower values run before those with higher values. See Assign the Smart Label run order.

Adding Smart Labels for devices

Adding Smart Labels for devices

Add a Smart Label for desktops
Add a Smart Label for servers
Add a Smart Label for laptops

You can create Smart Labels to organize devices by type, such as desktop, server, and laptop. After you create Smart Labels for devices, you can schedule patches to be deployed to devices based on their labels.

Add a Smart Label for desktops

You can create a Smart Label to identify devices that require desktop patches.

1.
Go to the Devices 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 Devices.
2.
Click the Smart Label tab above the list on the right.
The Smart Label panel appears.

The image displays the Smart Label panel with search criteria entered.

Specify the criteria required to eliminate servers:
Operating System: Name | does not contain | Server
b.
Click Add Line, then specify the criteria required to eliminate laptops:
AND | Manufacturer and BIOS info: Chassis Type | does not contain | Laptop

Other useful criteria for identifying desktops include:

▪
System Names, if you give all of your desktops a similar name.
▪
System Models, such as all systems with XPS in the model name.
▪
IP addresses, or partial IP addresses using the contains criteria.
▪
BIOS Serial Numbers, or use the Includes partial serial number criteria. This is useful if you have purchased desktops with sequential numbers. For more information, contact your vendor.
▪
Software Title, if desktops have a title in common.
