Asset Promotion tab

The Asset Promotion tab of the LAN Watch 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 LAN Watch by Network page or LAN Watch by Probe page by toggling the / icon.

• Automatic Asset Promotion Rule - Specifies which discovered devices—those that cannot be installed with an agent—should be automatically promoted to a managed asset.
  • All
  • None
  • IP Address Range
• Default Group - Selects the organization and machine group to assign to discovered devices promoted to a managed asset.
  • Selected Group - Selects a fixed organization and machine group.
  • Use Probe - Uses the organization and machine group of the probe machine. This is the default.
  • Default Root - Uses the default machine group of the organzation associated with this LAN.
