BlueCat Management Dashboard

The BlueCat Management dashboard enables you to identify any IP address space that is missing from your BlueCat Address Management (BAM) server.

The dashboard provides these device attributes:

• Active - True/False status indicating whether the device responded to a Asset Manager probe
• Device Type - Descriptor of the device such as server, router, printer
• DNS Name - Name given to device by Domain Name System
• First Observed - Timestamp of when the device first responded to a probe from Asset Manager
• IP Address - The unique IPv4 or IPv6 device identifier
• Last Observed - Timestamp of when the device last responded to a probe from Asset Manager
• LocationCode -  Indicates the country, city in UN/ LOCODE, and custom locations such as  CA TOR OF1 indicates: CA= Canada TOR=Toronto OF1=Office 1.
• MAC Address - The unique device identifier
• OS - Operating system running on the device
• State - Categorizes IP address assignment permanence (e.g., static, DHCP-reserved, gateway)
• Zonename - Name of the zone in which the device was discovered

IPs Unmanaged by BlueCat

IP addresses that Asset Manager found on your network that BlueCat doesn't know about or manage. 

IPs Unmanaged by Asset Manager

IP addresses managed by BlueCat that Asset Manager did not find on the network. Typically there will not be any devices managed by BlueCat that have not been indexed by Asset Manager. Records in this dashboard widget indicate a lack of visibility which could be caused by a discovery configuration or deployment problem. Please contact us for help in identifying the source  of the problem.

BlueCat and Asset Manager Managed IPs

When this subset becomes the whole (i.e., when all devices are managed by both resources), your organization's policy is in hand.
