Hi team

I have some requirement due to which I need to create 2 entries for same managed system .  I have created those entries . Both systems have same Name ,IP and port. Description is different only . 

I need to understand how can I create the smart rule which can target only one system. I want to write the smart rule for both assets individually.

What condition shall I add such that only one system is returned when smart rule is executed.

One of the option would be quick rule . But I want to understand is there any way I can use the smart rule and get this done .

I was looking at the option for manage system smart rule and I could see there is an condition for alias 

I wanted to understand how can I set the alias for both systems? If it is possible then I can use it to distinguish both systems. I dont see any option to use the description

Need help here please 

 

Regards,

Imran

I don’t fully understand the use-case, but!

I would consider the use of Attributes which can be assigned on the asset individually.
You can create your own Attributes to use for this purpose.

Then in the Smart Rules for Managed System we can target Attributes ensure we only select the one with the needed attribute.

I hope that helps you out.

Kind regards
Jens

Hello, Imran.
It's a little strange to use 2 or more address for the same managed sys for different situations.

I guess you can create separates Address Groups with the same DNS/IP and use Attibutes to separate these guys by the Assets Smart Rules at onboarding or at Managed Sys. Smart Rules.

are the 2 machines/address from the same Domain?
