After choosing a search criteria, you enter a variable to complete the string rule. An example
string rule could read, "Match the following rule where: Device type contains Windows,"
where "Device type" is the rule type, "contains" is the search criteria, and "Windows" is the
variable. This string rule would search for all device types on the network that contain the
word "Windows."
"Yes/No" rules
Has an SNMP credential. Checks the SNMP v1/v2/v3 credentials field found at Device
Properties > Credentials to see if devices have SNMP credentials.
Has a Windows credential. Checks the Windows credentials field found at Device
Properties > Credentials to see if devices have Windows credentials.
Note: Does not apply to Passive Monitors that use credentials.
You have two search criteria to choose from for Yes/No rules:
Yes
No
You do not have to enter a variable for Yes/No rules, because the variable exists in the rule
type itself. For example, if you're searching for devices that do not have SNMP credentials, the
variable is the SNMP credential.
The criteria is whether a device has an SNMP credential (No). An example yes/no rule could
read, "Match the following rule where: Has a Windows credential, Yes," where "Has a Windows
credential" is the variable and "Yes" is the search criteria. This rule would search for devices
that have Windows credentials.
"IP address is within" rules
You can create two types of IP addresses within rules:
the range
a subnet
The range. To create a Dynamic Group consisting of devices within a certain range of
IP addresses, you can create a rule that searches for devices with addresses that fall
between two IP addresses, a lower number address, and a higher number address.
For example, you could create a rule that reads, "Match the following rule where: IP
address is within the range 192.160.1.1. and 192.165.25.255." The rule would search
for all devices with IP addresses that fall between the two addresses and create a new
Dynamic Group with these devices.
