Add a Device

Because a wide range of devices from different vendors can be added to the AppViewX system, it is not possible to explain the exact steps you must complete for each device type. The following instructions explain only the basic steps required. Refer to the AppViewX UI for the specific fields and configuration options relating to a particular device type.

To add a device to the AppViewX system:

  1. Click and select Inventory > Device.
    The Device screen opens.
  2. On the top of the screen, click the tab that corresponds to the type of device you want to add: ADC, server, DNS, firewall, WAF, switch, router, proxy, cloud, HSM, others, or MDM.
    Note:
    • To manage the Amazon ELB devices, ensure that the proxy is configured in the Settings module. For detailed information, refer to theProxy Settingssection of this guide.
    • Servers should be added only with the root user credentials who can access all the files. Also, in the Credentials pane, users should select sudo or dzdo from the Access Elevation section.
  3. Click in the Command bar.
  4. In the left-hand column on the Add screen that appears, select the vendor whose device you want to add.
  5. At a minimum, fill in all fields that contain a red asterisk beside their names.
  6. Click Save.
    Note: In some instances, such as when adding ADC devices, a second tab must be clicked and its fields completed before the device can be added to the AppViewX system. Before leaving the Add screen, check to see if there are additional tabs you need to click, like the Device group tab in the image below.
