The BlueCat integration provides BlueCat customers with a way to ensure that the BlueCat agent is installed comprehensively on all network devices in a particular segment (or multiple segments) as intended. The integration reconciles BlueCat address management with Lumeta address management to uncover:

1. Assets lacking the BlueCat agent, which show up in Lumeta-only dashboard widgets and in the BlueCat console.
2. Assets to which visibility is blocked, which show up in BlueCat-only dashboards widgets and in the BlueCat console.
3. Assets with comprehensive management, which show up in both BlueCat and Lumeta dashboards widgets and in the BlueCat console.

Widgets on Lumeta's Vulnerability Management dashboard are populated using a combination of IPs indexed by Lumeta and IPs from the BlueCat_scanned_ips table and the BlueCat_subscribed_ips table, as follows:

IPs Unmanaged by BlueCat

IPs indexed by Lumeta yet unmanaged by BlueCat

(aka Lumeta-Indexed - BlueCat-Subscribed table on Lumeta)

IPs Unmanaged by Lumeta
IPs managed by BlueCat yet not indexed by Lumeta
(aka BlueCat-Scanned/Managed table on Lumeta - Lumeta-Indexed)

IPs both indexed by Lumeta and in BlueCat managed list
(aka Intersection of Lumeta-Indexed and BlueCat-Scanned/Managed table on Lumeta)
