Auto-creating Hardware records from the audit data

Alloy Navigator is integrated with Alloy Discovery. For information on using Alloy Discovery, see Alloy Discovery documentation.

When audit snapshots are imported from Alloy Discovery to Alloy Navigator, new Hardware records are automatically created.

As opposed to automatic license allocation for auto-created Computers, Alloy Navigator does not allocate software licenses to hardware devices. Thus, if you want to allocate a license to a hardware device, manual allocation in the only way for that. For details, see Allocating Software Licenses.

INFO: For details on retiring software, see Marking Tracked Software and Software Licenses as retired.

When an auto-added Hardware is retired in Alloy Navigator, its original record is typically deleted from Alloy Discovery.
