Creating an asset in the asset tree

System administrators can manage assets and tags.

In Kaspersky MLAD, you can create assets in the asset tree and categorize tags by asset as you see fit. For example, you can create assets for the assets of the monitored asset from which telemetry data is received.

To create a new asset:

1. In the lower-left corner of the page, click the  button.

   You will be taken to the administrator menu.

2. Select the Assets section.
3. In the upper part of the page, click the Create button.

   The Create tag pane opens on the right.

4. In the Element type drop-down list, select the Asset value.
5. If necessary, click the Choose icon button and select an icon for the asset in the opened window.

   You can upload an asset icon by clicking the Load icon button. Images of any format larger than 128x128 pixels are shrunk to 128x128 while maintaining the aspect ratio. The size of the uploaded image in SVG format must not exceed 200 KB.

   If you need to delete the asset icon, click the tag icon and then click Delete in the opened window.

6. In the Asset drop-down list, select the section of the asset tree within which you want to create the asset.
7. Specify the asset name in the Name field.
8. In the Description field, provide a description for the asset.
9. Select the type of asset from the Asset type drop-down list.

   If you have uploaded the configuration of assets and tags to Kaspersky MLAD, you can select one of the asset types defined in the configuration file. Asset types are specified in the directory_types tab of the configuration file.

10. If you have selected one of the asset types defined in the imported configuration file, specify values for the special parameters of the assets.

    The names of special parameters are specified in the directory_types tab of the configuration file.

11. Click the Save button.

The asset will be created. If necessary, you can change the position of an asset in the tree.

You can also create nested assets in the asset tree.

To create an asset using the asset tree:

1. In the lower-left corner of the page, click the  button.

   The Create asset pane opens on the right.
