Details
Define the criteria that must be met for the registration rule to be
applied to a device. The criteria are defined through the use of
filters. At least one filter must be defined.
1. Click Add Filter to add a filter line.
2. Create the filter expression.
An expression consists of a criteria option, operator, and value.
For example:
IPAddress starts with 1.1
IPAddress is the criteria option,
operator, and 1.1 is the value. In the above example, the
registration rule is applied only to devices whose IP addresses
start with 1.1.
If necessary, you can use NOT to perform a logical negation of
the expression. For example:
NOT IPAddress starts with 1.1
In the above example, the registration rule is applied only to
devices whose IP addresses do not start with 1.1.
The criteria options you can use are listed below, along with
possible values. The format for all values, with the exception of
Device Type and OS, is free form string.
CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1600MHz
DNS: abc.xyz.com
Device Type: Workstation or Server
GUID: 5bf63fb9b1ed4cd880e1a428a1fcf737
Hostname: zenserver
IPAddress: 123.456.78.99
Language: Portuguese (Brazil)
OS: win2003-se-sp1-x86
3. If necessary, click Add Filter to create another filter.
Filters are combined with the AND operator, which means that
the criteria defined in each filter must be met before the
registration rule is applied to a device. For example:
OS equals Windows Server 2003 AND IPAddress
starts with 123.456
In the above example, the registration rule is applied only to
devices whose operating system is Windows 2003 and whose
IP address starts with 123.456.
Specify the folder in which to place the devices.
As a general rule, devices with similar configuration settings (refresh
intervals, logging settings, remote management settings, and so
forth) should be grouped in the same folder so that you can specify
the configuration settings on the folder and have the devices in the
folder inherit them. You should not use the same folder for devices
that require different configuration settings; doing so prohibits you
from using the folder to define the settings and forces you to define
them on each individual device.
