Connected hosts

Unify information about connected hosts, and the resources used to access them.

Information about hosts, identified by hostname, are coalesced. Remote access to the connected hosts can be controlled by authentication group permissions which are applied to connected hosts' tags rather than the individual access methods.

The device's connected hosts are also published to Gearlinx ZERO during synchronization, where they can be viewed and remotely accessed.

  • Connected hosts - The connected hosts discovered by services and monitoring running on the device, supplemented with user-supplied information.
  • Static host information - Supplement the discovered hosts with user-supplied information.
  • Tag rules - Add tags to connected hosts' associated resources when an expression matches a property of the connected host.
