Data for the automated asset discovery is collected using the Network Device and Recon asset models. Once data is collected and imported for these asset models, Integrity uses that data to identify and categorize network assets. Assets are categorized by setting the Status column to one of the following values:
Missing
Assets that were previously discovered and are no longer found on the network.
Added
Assets that were not previously identified and are discovered on the network.
Existing
Assets that were previously discovered and are still present on the network.
Transient
Assets that were previously discovered, were found to be missing, and then discovered again on the network. These assets are categorized as having a transient connection to the network.
