The Attributes report reveals all attributes known for the selected device including host-specific, platform, and user-defined data. These attributes combine to characterize and uniquely identify a single discovered device.

Most device attributes are gathered during the device discovery process. You can also add and edit custom attribute data for a device from its Device Properties card. Device-specific reports are useful for browsing, reporting, and tracking your inventory.

Understand column data

The default view of each report contains a grid with the following columns:

  • Name. Attribute ID.
  • Value. Attribute value.
