BIUL Hosts Inventory Grid

On the Hosts > Hosts Inventory page, you can manage hosts and software deployments. A smart form assists in generating actions to run on one or many hosts, and you are notified when actions are complete. Hosts can be filtered by Hostname, IP Address, Operating System, and Tags.

Most actions require credentials be provided so the console can authenticate with the selected host. Credentials are managed on the Credentials page.

Use the Hosts Inventory Grid

The Hosts Inventory page displays all the assets found during a discovery.

Click on the Hostname and Updated headers to sort and refresh the grid. When performing an action, you can quickly select all of the hosts in a grid by checking the box in the header row. To view more details about a host, select a host, and then at the far right, click the ellipsis menu icon and select View Host Details.

For more information on adding hosts, see Hosts Inventory with BIUL.
