Custom Audit Fields Reference

Reference for the per-Site, per-device-type Custom audit field catalog: list view, fields on the create form, surfaces, and constraints.

Admin Center > Site Settings > Customization > Custom audit fields.

List view

Records are grouped by Device type. Within each group:

Column	Type	Description
Name	String	Internal identifier (column key). Sorted ascending by default.
Label	String	Display label used on the device form, inventory grid, and reports.
Field type	Enum	One of `Memo`, `String`, `Table`, `Logical`. Additional types may vary by deployment.
Device subtype	String	For SNMP devices: `Printer`, `Switch`, `Other`. Empty for other device types.
Description	String	Optional human-readable description.
Script	String	Script body.

Toolbar: Default View ▼ / + New field / Delete / Filter / ⋯ / ⚙️.

Fields on the create form

Field	Required	Description
Label	yes	Display label shown in inventory grids, the device form, and reports.
Name	yes	Internal identifier. Becomes the column key in inventory grids and reports.
Device type	yes	One of `Windows computer`, `SNMP device`, `EC2 instance`, and others. The field only applies to devices of this type.
Device subtype	no	For SNMP, narrows to `Printer`, `Switch`, or `Other`.
Field type	yes	`Memo` (long text), `String` (short text), `Table` (tabular), `Logical` (true / false).
Script	yes	The audit-time script body.

Note: Additional optional fields on the create form may vary by deployment.

Where custom fields surface

Surface	Behaviour
Device form	Visible on the device's form for any device of the matching type.
Inventory grid	Available as an optional column with filter support.
Change tracking	Captured under the Custom audit fields tracking category when Change tracking is enabled.
Reports	Available as a report column.

Cloud-resource scope

Custom audit fields apply to cloud-resource audits as well. When Device type is EC2 instance (and similar cloud-object types), the field populates on those audited objects through the AWS / Azure / Google audit paths. Do not assume custom fields are Windows or SNMP only.

Constraints

A custom field is per-Site. There is no instance-wide custom-field catalog.
A custom field is bound to a single Device type. Apply to multiple types by creating one field per type.
Custom fields populate on subsequent audits, not retroactively. Re-audit affected devices to back-fill.
The exact set of supported Field type values, and the syntax accepted by the Script field, may vary by deployment.

RBAC
