When monitoring the activity of assets in the industrial network, the application automatically assigns the appropriate statuses to detected devices based on the obtained MAC- and/or IP addresses of devices.
In learning mode, the Authorized status is assigned to all detected devices.
In monitoring mode, the assigned status depends on whether the device that showed activity is known or unknown to the application. In this mode, statuses are assigned according to the following rules:
If an asset with the Authorized status has not shown any activity and information about this asset has not been changed in a long time (30 days or more), the Archived status is assigned to this asset.
When assets with the Unauthorized status appear in the assets table, you need to determine whether all of these assets are required for industrial process support. After making this determination, it is recommended to manually assign one of the following statuses to each asset:
Instead of assigning the Archived status, you can delete the asset. However, all information specified for the asset will also be deleted. If a deleted asset is detected again, the application will provide only the information that has been received since the asset was re-added to the assets table (the date and time of the first detection of the asset is also updated).
