Resolving the Application's Overlapping Evidence Alerts
Sometimes a single evidence record might be assigned to several software applications. If so, a red alert symbol displays next to the name of each affected application.
To resolve the application's overlapping evidence alerts:
Column name | Notes |
---|---|
Added evidence |
Displays Yes if the evidence was added to this application within your enterprise. Displays No if the linkage between this application and the evidence is recorded in the Application Recognition Library. |
Assigned |
Displays Yes when the evidence is matched to at least one application, and otherwise displays No. This assignment may have been done automatically through the Application Recognition Library rules, or manually by the operator. |
Ignored |
Displays Yes when the evidence is not used for application recognition, and No (the default) when the evidence is used to recognize an installation of the assigned application. |
Matches |
Specifies the number of times that a particular evidence rule is matched in
software inventory.
Note: A figure displayed in the Matches column is
often higher than the number of installations of the software applications (the
installation count is displayed in the Installed column on the
Applications tab of the evidence properties). These figures may
be different for the following reasons:
|
Name |
The installer evidence name is derived from native packaging tools on each device. For example, on Windows® devices, the sources include MSI information and Add/Remove Programs data. Clicking on the hyperlinked Name value opens the property sheet for this installer evidence, and in those properties theDevices tab identifies all the inventory devices where this installer evidence has been located. |
Overlapping evidence |
Displays Yes for evidence that is linked to multiple applications, and No for evidence that does not overlap multiple applications. |
Publisher |
The publisher name listed in the evidence. |
Source |
The source of this evidence rule:
|
Type |
The kind of software installer that generated this evidence, or where the installer evidence is found. Examples include MSI, Add/Remove Programs, and so on. For manually-created records, editable in the General tab of the installer evidence properties. Not editable for records published through the Application Recognition Library. |
Version |
The version of the installed application, as reported by the evidence. For locally-created records, the Version is editable in the General tab of the installer evidence properties. |
