The larger the IT landscape is, the more complex its data and asset management become. However, Raynet One includes a number of methods to keep up with changing data and organizational structures within your managed environment. The following chapters lead you through the essential processes of IT landscape organization.
Aspects of IT landscape organization
It is important to define a good structure that appropriately represents your IT landscape physically (or even logically). There are chapters covering the very basics of structural definition on the platform itself. Credentials are critical resources which require advanced management and control options. Read the credentials chapters to go beyond the basics of credentials addition. Becoming pro-efficient in platform use requires knowledge about event handling and monitoring.
All aspects of the following chapters originate directly from your IT landscape, not the platform itself. They handle resources discovered and inventoried by platform jobs, configured and found on your own devices. Information displayed on the platform directly reflects the IT landscape using evidence.

Motivation
You need to have the motivation to dive-deep, trace and convince yourself of platform jobs. Some displayed work-flows handle technical details relating to the behavior of the platform and real device configuration.
The necessity of good structure should be self-explanatory. Briefly put, it allows (human) recognition and load distribution.
Proper credentials management prevents the use of weak credentials and their wildspread misuse. You should take plain-text credentials and cryptographical authentication methods into account.
