- To configure the columns in this table, right click on any of the column headings and click the Configure Columns link that appears.
- This will open the Column Selection window. Here you can choose which columns are visible and which order they appear in.
| Column Name | Column Description |
|---|---|
| Device Name | device name displayed in the interface. |
| Polled Name | device name or IP address Entuity uses to poll the device. This must be resolvable on the Entuity server. |
| Zone | zone to which the device belongs. |
| Description | manufacturer's device description. This is only available with SNMP-discovered devices. |

| SNMP | version of SNMP supported by the device. |
| Port | port on which the device's SNMP agent receives its requests. |
| Certified |
device is either certified or uncertified. If certified, the device has an associated vendor file created by Entuity Support. A certified vendor file ensures the device MIB is correctly interrogated and that the device has the correct device type. If uncertified, the device has an automatically created vendor file, which is only an interim solution until a certified file can be provided. |

| Added | indicates if the device is under management. |
| Name Using | source of the device name. |
| Management IP | device management IP address. |
| SysOID | device sysOID used to manage the device. |
| Bulk Get | indicates whether SNMP Bulk Get is enabled (which means multiple varbinds are received back for each request). |
In the Certified, Reachable and Added columns, there will be a status icon:
Certified:
- using certified vendor support.
- using generic management, contact your Entuity representative to obtain a certified vendor file.
- not yet determined if certified support exists for this device.- no icon - some device types, such as VM hypervisors or cloud controllers, do not require vendor files and so there will be no icon.
Reachable:
- - OK, in this state for [time].
- - ICMP not responding, in this state for [time].
- no ICMP reachability info currently available.
Added:
- - device successfully added to the inventory.
- - device is queued for addition.
- error, device failed to add. Hover over the icon to see the reason for failure.
If a device has failed to add, you can edit the parameters in the Modify Device window and click OK to re-queue the device for addition to the device inventory.
To view all devices under management via reports:
There are a number of reports in ENA that provide details of the devices under management:
- Click the Main Menu and then Reports. This will open the Reports page.
- Click Inventory Reports.
- This will open the Inventory Reports page. Here you can select from a number of reports that provide details of the devices under management. In particular, the Device Inventory report and the Inventory Overview report will show you the devices you have under management.
To view devices under management in a dashboard:
You can use the Contents dashboard to see the devices under management in the specific View. For example, if you navigate to the All Objects View and then open its Contents dashboard, you will see the devices under management (as well as the services, network paths etc that you have specified).
