Machine Summary

Machine Summary

The Machine Summary page allows users to perform tasks and functions solely for one managed machine. A series of tabbed property sheets provided access to various categories of information about the managed machine.

Actions

You may wish to edit both custom field values and the data collected for a machine during a system audit. Edits to system audit data will be overwritten by subsequent system audits, unless you remove these system audit fields from automatic collection. Edited system audit fields and custom fields can both be selected using the Filter Aggregate Table page and the Aggregate Table report. You can also automate changes to the values of data items by running the updateSystemInfo() command in an agent procedure.

You can maintain an unlimited number of custom fields of information about managed machines. Custom fields can be maintained on both the Summary tab and the Hardware > Summary tab of this page. Custom fields can also be maintained on the Audit > System Information page. Custom fields are supported in views, procedures, and reports. Custom reports do not support more than 40 custom fields.

Select a Machine

Select a machine in the middle panel to display data for that machine. When more rows of data are selected than can be displayed on a single page, click the and buttons to display the previous and next page. The drop-down list alphabetically lists the first record of each page of data using the sort order of the selected column on that page.
