Adding devices

Devices can be added to eAuditor in several ways. The chosen method depends on the device type and how it should be registered in the system.

Select how to add the device

Method	When to use
Manual addition	When you want to add a single device yourself and enter its details.
Automatic detection	When the device is to be detected automatically by the eAgent service after it is connected to the workstation.
Device import	When you want to add devices based on data prepared in a file.

The method used to add a device affects the scope of information available later in eAuditor Cloud. Not all device types can be detected automatically.

Manually add device

Manual addition allows you to register a device without requiring it to be automatically detected by the system.

1

Open the Devices view

Go to IT Infrastructure > Devices.

2

Select Add new

Click Add new, and then select the option to add the device manually.

3

Enter device details

Complete the information for the device being added.

The range of available fields depends on the device type and the information you want to store in the system.

4

Save the device

Review the entered information and submit the form.

After the device is saved successfully, it will appear in the view IT Infrastructure > Devices.

After adding the device, you can complete its information, change its assignment, and go to the Detail Card.

Automatic device detection

Some devices can be registered in eAuditor automatically.

This applies, among others, to USB devices connected to computers with the eAgent service installed.

For USB devices to be detected, configure the appropriate DLP policy using the event USB device connected.

How do I enable USB device detection?

1. Go to the DLP policy configuration.

2. Create or edit the appropriate policy.

3. Configure support for the event USB device connected.

4. Assign the policy to the relevant computers or groups.

5. Save and deploy the configuration.

The detailed configuration method is described in a separate article.

The mere presence of the eAgent service on a computer does not mean that every connected device will be registered automatically. It is necessary to configure the appropriate monitoring mechanism in advance.

Device import

Import allows you to add devices based on data prepared in a file.

This means you do not have to enter each device manually.

Feature Device import is currently under development. If it is not yet available in your version of eAuditor Cloud, use manual addition or the available automatic detection mechanisms.

What happens after a device is added?

A properly registered device will appear in the view IT Infrastructure > Devices.

Then you can:

• open its Detail Card,

• check the available information,

• change or supplement the data,

• assign the device,

• check its relationships with other infrastructure elements,

• perform the available administrative operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add a device manually?

Yes. Go to IT Infrastructure > Devices, select Add new and complete the device details.

Can devices be added automatically?

Yes, for selected device types and properly configured system mechanisms.

An example is USB devices, which can be detected within a properly configured DLP policy.

Why did the connected USB device not appear in the system?

Check whether the eAgent service is running on the computer and whether the appropriate DLP policy supporting the event has been configured and deployed USB device connected.

If the configuration is correct and the device is still not visible, go to the Troubleshooting.

Is eAgent alone enough for automatic USB device detection?

No. It is also necessary to configure the appropriate monitoring mechanism, e.g. a DLP policy for connected USB devices. Go to data loss prevention.

Can I import multiple devices at once?

The device import mechanism is under development. If the import option is not available in your version of the system, you can add devices manually or use the available automatic detection mechanisms.

Where will I find the device after adding it?

The device will be available in the IT Infrastructure > Devices. Click its name to go to the Detail Card.

Can I change the device data after adding it?

Yes. You can later edit device information using the available operations.

The detailed procedure is described in the article Device Management.
