Managing assets

Assets represent the computers of the organization. You can add assets to KUMA; in that case, KUMA automatically adds asset IDs when enriching events, and when you analyze events, you can get additional information about computers in the organization.

You can add assets to KUMA in the following ways:

You can manage KUMA assets: view information about assets, search for assets, add, edit or delete assets, and export asset data to a CSV file.

Asset categories

You can categorize the assets and then use the categories in filter conditions or correlation rules. For example, you can create alerts of a higher severity level for assets from a higher-severity category. By default, all assets fall into the Uncategorized assets category. A device can be added to multiple categories.

By default, KUMA assigns the following severity levels to asset categories: Low, Medium, High, Critical. You can create custom categories, categories can be nested.

Categories can be populated in the following ways:

In KUMA, assets are categorized by tenant and by category. Assets are arranged in a tree structure, where the tenants are located at the root, and the asset categories branch from them. You can view the tree of tenants and categories in the AssetsAll assets section of the KUMA web interface. When a tree node is selected, the assets assigned to it are displayed in the right part of the window. Assets from the subcategories of the selected category are displayed if you specify that you want to display assets recursively. You can select the check boxes next to the tenants whose assets you want to view.

To open the context menu of a category, hover the mouse cursor over the category and click the ellipsis icon that is displayed to the right of the category name. The following actions are available in the context menu:
