Discovered Device Properties: This category contains the basic properties of a discovered device. | |
Agent installed |
Indicates whether the discovered computer has the FlexNet Inventory Agent installed
on it. Value is set to Yes:
Selectable in the Advanced tab of the discovered device properties. |
Discovered |
A Yes indicates that the device was first identified in a discovery process (either remotely from an inventory beacon, or locally when the installed FlexNet Inventory Agent found Oracle on the device). A No indicates that the discovery record was 'back-generated' after the device was found in collected inventory. The discovery and inventory processes generate the value of this field. |
Discovered by |
Identifies the beacon that discovered this device. The discovery and inventory process generates the value of this field. |
DNS full name |
The fully qualified name of the discovered computing asset in the Domain Name System. Editable in the General tab in the discovered device properties. |
Domain name |
The name of the domain to which the computing device
belongs.
Tip: Records fabricated for special purposes display
special values:
Editable in the General tab of the discovered device properties. |
First discovered |
Specifies the date and time when the discovery process discovered this device. The discovery and inventory process generates the value of this field. |
Inventoried |
Indicates that the inventory information has been collected for this device, and the device appears in the All Inventory list. IT Asset Management may have collected this information through an agent or through discovery and inventory rules. The discovery and inventory process generates the value of this field. |
IP address |
The IPv4 address of the discovered device. For discovered devices with
multiple IP addresses (for example, those with multiple network cards), only the
first validly-formed IP address displays. The IP address may be blank for reasons
like these:
Editable in the General tab of the discovered device properties. |
Last discovered |
Specifies the date and time when this device was last discovered by the discovery process. A blank value for this field indicates that the device has been discovered by a third-party inventory collection tool, and not by discovery and inventory rules or FlexNet Inventory Agent. The discovery and inventory process generates the value of this field. |
Last inventory date |
The date when the most recent inventory information was collected by the Last inventory source for this inventory device. The inventory process generates the value of this field. |
MAC address |
The Media Access Control (MAC) address of the inventory device. If a
device has multiple network interface cards, this field displays a comma-separated
list of MAC addresses.
Tip: This field is deliberately empty for
discovered device records created automatically by the Amazon connector to
represent installations of Oracle Database within Amazon Relational Database
Service (RDS).
Editable in the General tab of the discovered device properties. |
Name |
The name of the computing device. For manually-created records, editable in the General tab in the discovered
device properties. This field is not editable in the Raw Software
Usage page.
Note: It is best practice to leave names unchanged for
records created automatically from discovery or inventory. As the name is used
to identify the device, changing the name effectively creates a separate device
record, and the old one is recreated at the next import.
|
Operating system |
The operating system running on this device.
Tip: This value may
be blank because:
The discovery and inventory process generates the value of this field. |

Lists the names of the Oracle services installed on this device. The discovery and inventory process generates the value of this field. |
Site |
Specifies the name of the site or subnet to which this device has been allocated, based on its reported IP address. If the reported IP address does not place the computer in any defined site, the site is reported as Unrecognized. The discovery and inventory process generates the value of this field. |
SQL Server |
Indicates whether the computer is running SQL Server database. Editable in the Databases tab of the discovered device properties. |
VDI |
Indicates whether the device is a virtual machine hosted in VDI. The discovery and inventory process generates the value of this field. |
VDI broker |
Indicates whether the device is running a Citrix Broker service. The discovery and inventory process generates the value of this field. |
VDI template |
Identifies the VDI template (Catalog in Citrix terminology) from which the virtual desktop instance accessed remotely from this inventory device, was spawned. The value of this field appears only when this device has been used as an end-point to access a remote desktop. The discovery and inventory process generates the value of this field. |
Virtual parent |
Specifies whether the device is a virtual parent. The discovery and inventory process generates the value of this field. |
Virtualization host |
Specifies the name of the site or subnet to which this device has been allocated, based on its reported IP address. If the reported IP address does not place the computer in any defined site, the site is reported as Unrecognized. The value of this field is automatically generated by the discovery process. |
Virtualization port |
Specifies the virtualization port number. Editable in the Advanced tab of the discovered device properties. |
Rule results: This category lists the status of discovery and inventory rule execution on a device. | |
