Obsolescence management

The collector helps plan operating systems and hardware upgrades through constant notification of items beyond user-defined warning and alerting thresholds.

This view is accessed through the 'admin' tab.

Obsolescence setup

Operating systems and hardware are collected from the asset database. The refresh button parses the database in search of new items to add.

The count of nodes matching each different os and hardware type is displayed in the 'count' column. Clicking on the count number displays the list of nodes.

The 'Warn date' and 'Alert date' thresholds can be set by clicking on the table cell.

Obsolescence notifications

The notifications appear in the dashboard view.

This notification table is displayed only to users with the 'Manager' role.
