Insight Inventory
About the Insight Inventory
Insight lists all authenticated endpoints on the network on the page.
View inventory information for all endpoints by navigating to , or click a graph widget on the , or Insight dashboards and drill down to display inventory data related to that graph.
Figure 1 The Insight Inventory Table
The endpoints information in the table is described in Table 1.

Description |
|
MAC Media Access Control. A MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on a network. address of the endpoint. |
|
| IP address |
IP address of the endpoint. |
|
Hostname |
Host name of the endpoint. |
|
Category |
Category assigned to the profiled endpoint device; for example, Access Points, Computer, Server Smart Device, or VoIP phone. |
|
Family |
The operating system (OS) family used by the endpoint device. For example, when the category is , Insight can show a device OS family of Windows, Linux, or Apple Mac. |
| Device Name |
The column describes a more specific device type within a device family. For example, a computer in the device family may show a device type of . |
Sorting and Filtering Inventory Table Data
By default, each page of the table displays endpoints sorted by MAC Media Access Control. A MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on a network. address.
Click any column heading to resort the table by that column data type.
Click the filter (
)icon on the table header to select one or more filter options and modify the table display only selected endpoint types.
The available filter types are described in Table 2 below.

Column |
Action/Description |
|
Device Category |
The drop-down list displays a list of the categories of devices found on your network, such as a server or printer. By default, the option is selected, and the inventory displays devices in all categories. Click this drop-down list and select any other device category to filter the table and display only devices of the selected type. The contents of this drop-down list may vary, depending upon the types of devices in your network. |
|
Device Family |
The drop-down list displays a list of the device families found on your network, such as a Hewlett Packard, Aruba, or Intel. By default, the option is selected, and the inventory displays devices in all categories. Click this drop-down list and select any other device category to filter the table and display only devices of the selected type. The contents of this drop-down list may vary, depending upon the types of devices in your network, and the selected device category. |
|
Device Name |
The drop-down list displays a list of the device names found on your network, such as an Apple iPhone. By default, the option is selected, and the inventory displays devices in all categories. Click this drop-down list and select any other device category to filter the table and display only devices of the selected type. The contents of this drop-down list may vary, depending upon the types of devices in your network, and the selected device category. |
|
Static IP |
Click the drop-down list and select one of the following options: : Display endpoints with static and non-static IP addresses. : Display endpoints with a static IP address. : Display endpoints with a non-static IP address. |
|
Conflict Status |
Click the drop-down list and select one of the following options: : Display all endpoints. : Display endpoints with a conflict (device is profiled into two or more different categories.) : Display endpoints with no conflict. |
|
Fingerprint Type |
Insight can obtain fingerprint information for network devices through a variety of sources (for example, obtained directly from the host, or via DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A network protocol that enables a server to automatically assign an IP address to an IP-enabled device from a defined range of numbers configured for a given network. or SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol. SNMP is a TCP/IP standard protocol for managing devices on IP networks. Devices that typically support SNMP include routers, switches, servers, workstations, printers, modem racks, and more. It is used mostly in network management systems to monitor network-attached devices for conditions that warrant administrative attention. ) The drop-down list displays a list of fingerprint information sources for the devices found on your network. By default, the option is selected, and the inventory displays devices identified by all fingerprinting types. Click this drop-down list and select any other fingerprinting type to filter the table and display only devices identified by the selected fingerprinting method. The contents of this drop-down list may vary, depending upon the fingerprinting methods used to identify devices on your network. |
|
Posture |
Click the option select one of the following options to filter endpoints that have a posture status as a result of having undergone a health check. : Display all endpoints. : Display endpoints that have posture information. : Display endpoints that do not have posture information |
|
System Posture Status |
Click this option to filter the table by one or more of the posture status types for the endpoints on your network that have undergone a health check and have posture status information. This field will only return information for endpoints that have a posture status of . The available parameters in this filter may vary, depending upon the posture status of the devices on your network. |

Viewing Endpoints Details
The page appears when you select any MAC Media Access Control. A MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on a network. address in the table, or when you enter and search for a search string in the Insight search bar. This data can include information in the following categories:
: Total number of successful authentications for that device over the selected time period.
: This section displays endpoint information such as the device IP address, MAC Media Access Control. A MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on a network. address and host name, and network details such as the AP , controller or switch port to which the endpoint is connected.
: Conflict information, and device profile data, such as the device category, family and name, and the time the device was first added or last updated.
: This section displays OnGuard health check data, if available.
: This section displays authentication details, endpoint role and policy information, the IP address of the NAD Network Access Device. NAD is a device that automatically connects the user to the preferred network, for example, an AP or an Ethernet switch. (Network Access Device), and the current authentication status.
: This section displays fingerprint details and information about fingerprint information sources for that endpoint.
: A line chart showing the number of successful authentications during each day of the selected time period
: A bar chart showing bandwidth used by the endpoint during each day of the selected time period.
