      Some corrections (sorry MarkH).

       

      To IGNORE a device, simply check the checkbox in the far right column under "Edit", then click the Edit button, this will bring you to the Edit Systems screen.

      On the Edit Systems screen scroll down and look for a drop-down listbox titled "Open-AudIT Managed", select "No" then click the Submit button at the bottom of the screen.

      Open-AudIT will still see the device when an audit is run, but will ignore it for reporting purposes.

      This isn't quite correct. The Open-AudIT Managed flag is simply to let users associate a non-standard Group for Open-AudIT Enterprise. This field can be ignored if you aren't using Enterprise. It does not affect device visibility in Open-AudIT Community (nor Discovery of said device).

       

      To DELETE a device, simply check the checkbox in the far right column under "Edit", then click the Edit button, this will bring you to the Edit Systems screen.

      On the Edit Systems screen scroll down and look for a drop-down listbox titled "Status", select "Deleted" then click the Submit button at the bottom of the screen.

      Open-AudIT will remove the device from the database.

      The first part is correct. Using Bulk Edit to set an individual device's status is perfectly valid. You can also edit the status directly on the Device Details page. This will not remove the device from the database though. Groups displayed in the web interface will not include this device. You will need access to the "Deleted Devices" group to be able to see it.

      To actually remove all data about the device from the database (after setting its status to Deleted) go to menu -> Admin -> Database -> Database maintenance and click the icon on the right side to delete "Devices with 'Deleted' status". Any devices with a status of Deleted will then have their data purged from the database.


      Hope that clears it up somewhat (smile)

        Hello Raju,

        There are 2 ways to remove a device, which one you use wil depend on it fyou want Open-AudIT to ignore the device, or to actually remove it from the system.

        To IGNORE a device, simply check the checkbox in the far right column under "Edit", then click the Edit button, this will bring you to the Edit Systems screen.

        On the Edit Systems screen scroll down and look for a drop-down listbox titled "Open-AudIT Managed", select "No" then click the Submit button at the bottom of the screen.

        Open-AudIT will still see the device when an audit is run, but will ignore it for reporting purposes.

        To DELETE a device, simply check the checkbox in the far right column under "Edit", then click the Edit button, this will bring you to the Edit Systems screen.

        On the Edit Systems screen scroll down and look for a drop-down listbox titled "Status", select "Deleted" then click the Submit button at the bottom of the screen.

        Open-AudIT will remove the device from the database. Please note, however, that if the device is found again during a subsequent audit that it will be added back in again.

        HTH,

        Mark H
