- Go to Environment > Assets.
-
Next to the asset name that you want to edit, click the
icon and select Configure Asset.
The configure asset dialog box opens.
- Modify the data of the items that need to be modified, as described in the Field Descriptions table below.
| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Name identifying the asset. This field is required. |
| Description | (Optional.) A short description for the asset. |
| Sensor | Sensor to associate with the asset. |
| Logo | Symbol that represents the asset. |
| Asset Type | (Optional.) Device type that identifies the asset. Select an option from the list. See USM Accepted Asset Types for more information. |
| Time Zone | Time zone assigned to the asset. The default value is System Default, which causes the asset to inherit the sensor’s time zone. Changing the asset’s time zone automatically applies the new time zone to all new logs collected from the asset. |
| Timezone Scope | Time zone applied to logs. Select whether to apply this timezone to all logs or only those which do not have a timezone already configured as a part of the raw log. |
| Compliance Scope | Add the asset to Payment Card Industry (PCI) and/or Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). See Working with Assets and PCI DSS and USM Anywhere Compliance Templates for more information. |
| Owner | (Optional.) Free text field to add an owner of the asset. |
| Custom Fields | Asset fields created by the user. The fields that are system defaults will not be displayed. See Managing Asset Fields for more information. |
| Network Interfaces | IP Address: IP address assigned to the asset. MAC Address: MAC address assigned to the asset. FQDN: Fully Qualified Domain Name. |
You must enter at least one of the three fields in Network Interfaces. These fields are highlighted when the values are not valid.
- Click Save.
USM Accepted Asset Types
The Asset Type field drop-down list includes a wide list of asset types from which to choose, which are defined in this table. USM Accepted Asset Types| Asset Type Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Bridge | A bridge combines two or more subnetworks into one. With a bridge this happens at a lower level than with a router. This category also includes things like Ethernet-to-serial bridges. |
| Broadband router | Devices in this category connect a network to the Internet through cable, asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL), and fiber optics. Some of these devices provide network address translation, a firewall, port forwarding, or other services. |
| Cloud | Model of computer data storage in which the digital data is stored in logical pools. |
| Database | Device that provides network-based data storage services. |
| Firewall | A firewall controls what traffic is allowed into or out of a network. Some also have additional capabilities. This category does not include general-purpose operating systems (OSes) that happen to come with a firewall, but it does include OS distributions purpose-built to work only as a firewall. |
| Game console | A video game console like the Microsoft Xbox or Sony PlayStation. |
| General purpose | General-purpose operating systems like Linux and Microsoft Windows. |
| Hub | A hub joins network segments by re-broadcasting all traffic. Hubs are distinct from switches, which selectively transmit packets only to relevant destinations. |
| Laptop | Small and portable personal computer. |
| Load balancer | A device that distributes inbound traffic to multiple devices to ease the load on those devices. |
| Media device | This category includes all kinds of audiovisual equipment, including portable music players, home audio systems, TVs, and projectors. |
| PBX | A private branch exchange (PBX) routes telephone calls within a private organization and connects them to the public telephone network or Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). |
| PDA | A personal digital assistant (PDA) is a handheld computer. Devices that are also telephones go in the “phone” category. |
| Phone | A network-capable telephone that is not a VoIP phone. Devices in this category are typically mobile phones. |
| Power-device | Miscellaneous power devices like uninterruptible power supplies (UPSes) and surge protectors. |
| Printer | Network-enabled printers, including printers with an embedded print server. |
| Print server | A print server connects a printer to a network. Printers that contain their own print server go in the “printer” category instead. |
| Proxy server | Any kind of proxy, including web proxies and other servers that cache data or understand high-level protocols. |
| Remote management | Devices that allow servers or other equipment to be monitored or managed remotely. |
| Router | Routers connect multiple networks. They are distinct from hubs and switches because they route packets between different networks as opposed to extending one network. |
| Security-misc | Any security device that doesn’t fall into the “firewall” category belongs in this category. This includes intrusion detection and prevention systems. |
| Server | Device that provides functionality for other programs or devices. |
| Specialized | The catch-all category. If a device doesn’t fall into one of the other categories, it is specialized. Examples in this category are diverse and include such things as clocks, oscilloscopes, climate sensors, and more. |
| Storage-misc | Data storage devices like tape decks and network-attached storage appliances. |
| Switch | A device that extends a network by selectively re-broadcasting packets. Switches are distinct from hubs, which broadcast all packets. |
| Telecom-misc | Devices used by telephone systems that are not PBXs, like voicemail and Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) systems. |
| Terminal | A device with a keyboard and monitor with the primary purpose of communicating directly with a terminal server or mainframe. |
| Terminal server | A device providing terminal facilities to clients over a network. |
| VoIP adapter | A device that converts between VoIP protocols and normal telephone traffic. Also may convert different VoIP protocols. |
| VoIP phone | A phone capable of a VoIP protocol. |
| WAP | Wireless access points (WAPs) offer a wireless connection to a network. Most work with radio technology like 802.11b. but some use infra-red or something else. Devices that could also be put in another category, like wireless broadband routers, are put in the WAP category because WAPs require special network considerations. |
| Web server | Device that provides contents to the World Wide Web. A web server processes incoming network requests over HTTP and several other related protocols. |
| Webcam | Any kind of camera that stores or transmits pictures or video. This includes everything from consumer webcams to security system cameras. |
