Kaspersky Security Center allows you to tag devices. A tag is the label of a device and it can be used for grouping, describing, or finding devices. Tags assigned to devices can be used for creating selections, for finding devices, and for distributing devices among administration groups.
You can tag devices manually or automatically. If you want to tag an individual device, you can use manual tagging. Auto-tagging is performed by Kaspersky Security Center in one of the following ways:
We do not recommend that you use different ways of tagging to assign the same tag. For example, if the tag is assigned by the rule, it is not recommended to manually assign this tag to devices.
If the tags are assigned by rules, devices are tagged automatically when specified rules are met. An individual rule corresponds to each tag. Rules are applied to the network properties of the device, operating system, applications installed on the device, and other device properties. For example, if you have a hybrid infrastructure of physical machines, Amazon EC2 instances, and Microsoft Azure virtual machines, you can set up a rule that will assign the [Azure] tag to all Microsoft Azure virtual machines. Then, you can use this tag when creating a device selection; and this will help you sort all Microsoft Azure virtual machines and assign them a task.
You can add only one auto-tagging rule per tag. If you create a new rule for the same tag, the previous one will be replaced.
A tag is automatically removed from a device in the following cases:
The list of tags and the list of rules on each Administration Server are independent of all other Administration Servers, including a primary Administration Server or subordinate virtual Administration Servers. A rule is applied only to devices from the same Administration Server on which the rule is created.
