Manually Adding Devices

It is possible to manually add hosts and services using the related screens (devices and services like vSphere, Oracle databases, and SNMP).

To access the overview of the connections, open the Devices + Services screen directly from the dashboard. The overview is common for all base types and each has a dedicated tab on the left side that contains a dedicated data grid.

Press the + icon to add a host or click Edit to change the properties of an existing host. This opens the properties dialog which can be used to set the type of operating system, the hostname, or network address and optionally choose the credentials that are tried first when authenticating to this host for running the inventory. Finally, the dialog allows for the configuration of the device-specific capabilities which will later be used to determine how to access it when doing the inventory scan.
