Adding tags from the detected tag storage

When adding tags from the detected tag storage, the application automatically arranges the added tags in the tree of devices and tags. Tags are added to the security policy that is open in the Console.

It is possible that not all tags from the detected tag storage will be added to the security policy in the Console. You can add only those tags whose corresponding devices and protocols are available in the security policy. If the security policy in the Console does not contain the device and/or protocol corresponding to the tag from the storage, this tag cannot be added to the security policy.

If you want to add all tags from the detected tag storage, the security policy loaded to the Console must have the same composition of devices and protocols that were used for unknown tag detection. To do so, for example, you can load the current security policy from the Server to the Console (if the composition of devices and protocols in this security policy has not changed since the detection of unknown tags).

When tags are added, the application sequentially processes the tags that are available in the detected tag storage. Each processed tag is automatically deleted from the storage. The application deletes all processed tags from storage, including those that were added to the security policy and those that were not added.

Users with the Administrator role and users with the Operator role can both add tags from the detected tag storage to the security policy in the Console.

To add tags from the detected tag storage to the security policy in the Console:

  1. Start the Application Console.
  2. Select the Process control tab in the Console window.
  3. Click the Load tags button. The button is available if the detected tag storage is not empty (a non-zero value is displayed in the Detected tags field).

    This starts the process for adding tags and opens the Add detected tags window. After the process of adding tags is complete, the window displays information about the number of detected tags in the storage, and information about the number of tags added to the security policy.

    You can interrupt the process of adding tags by clicking the Cancel button (this button is displayed until the process completes). If you do so, the security policy will contain only the added tags that were processed before you canceled the process. Unprocessed tags will not be removed from the detected tag storage.

  4. Close the Add detected tags window.

The added tags are displayed in the tree of devices and tags on the Process control tab. You can change the parameters of added tags and specify these tags in Process Control rules.

After adding tags from the detected tag storage, it is recommended to apply the security policy on the Server and disable Unknown Tag Detection.

If you have finished adding tags but do not apply the security policy on the Server and Unknown Tag Detection is still enabled, the tags that were added to the security policy may be detected again as new tags and sent to the tag storage. This happens because the application only checks whether detected tags are present in the security policy that is being applied on the Server. However, when adding tags from the detected tag storage, the application checks whether they are present in the security policy that is loaded in the Console (not the security policy on the Server). If the added tags are already found in the security policy in the Console, these tags are not duplicated in the policy.
