Configuration details to specify when adding the asset to Entuity

Entuity supports hardware monitoring on HPE Synergy systems through the integrated HPE OneView REST API. Entuity discovers chassis, servers, interconnects, storage enclosures, composers as well as additional internal components such as network interfaces, memory, physical disks, power supplies, and fans for each system. To do so, the Entuity collector uses port 443 (which must be open bidirectionally between the Entuity server/agent and the HPE Synergy system) and a monitoring user account.
