Device Asset Management
Device Asset Management is the screen for viewing and managing the asset information of devices registered to the network as an integrated list. Asset attributes such as asset number, asset status, ownership and maintenance information, and installation location can be checked per device in one place, so it is used to understand the status of network devices in operation and to manage the asset ledger. It is intended for infrastructure and network operators who run many network devices.
Device Asset Management focuses on viewing and managing the asset information of registered devices. Monitoring settings such as device registration, SNMP Polling configuration, and Health Check are managed in Device Inventory.
