Asset Promotion tab

Discovery > Networks > By Network > Asset Promotion tab

The Asset Promotion tab of the By Network page configures the automatic promotion of devices to assets when the devices are discovered.

• When an agent cannot be installed on a discovered device, the device can be "promoted" to a managed asset. For example, a router or printer may still require monitoring, even if an agent cannot be installed on the machine.
• All managed assets must be assigned a machine group and organization. Scoping rules and view filtering features within the VSA depend on this assignment.
• A discovered device can be manually promoted or demoted on the By Network page or By Agent page by toggling the / icon.
