Hi Team,
In my network if new system added means i want get alert for that ,
If any relevance is available for that ??
Kindly share your views ASAP
Thanks & Regards
Vicky
So you want to be alerted every time a new system first reports to IEM or if it comes online at all?
No @jmaple i want alert for if any IP devices connected into my network means , alert automatically generated and notify to register mail id in our web reports
For eg : in my office Emp bring his own lap and connected through LAN or Wi-Fi means , i want to be alert
is it possible ? and any relevance is available for this?
There would have to some system that monitors this outside of IEM that you can then use IEM to read. The tool, out of the box, doesn’t monitor your network for new devices unless there is an explicitly defined task to do so and you have the dependencies in place for it to do that.
If there is another system or tool you have that passively monitors the network for new devices, you could have it generate some kind of file you can use IEM to read and, if a device comes up and the entry of a file is generated, you could get an alert that way but passive network monitoring is not a function of IEM as far as I know.

What you seem to want is known as NAC - Network Access Control.
BigFix doesn’t do that, but I thought I’d help out your Google-ing.
Closest thing (that I know of) that BigFix does is “Unmanaged Asset” scanning. It’s not passive, you have to designate scanning points and set up a schedule for them to active scan the network.

Hi @jmaple, be kind and please point me to a document or link where this is discussed more. I will like to know how this can maybe help me. I also never heard of it before.
Thanks in advance,
Well if you have a system that IEM can install a client on that can detect when a new device enters your network, the application that does the detection probably has a log file somewhere or can be programmed to generate some kind of file that can be read by an analysis in IEM. It’s not as simple as throwing some relevance on all your machines and hoping you picked up everything. What you’re asking for would require colaboration with another tool in order to produce some kind of result within IEM. Either that or you can try to utilize Asset Discovery and do scans daily to find potential new unknown devices.Obviously I’m not recommending that but if you want IEM to be your sole discoverer of new devices, that’s really the only viable way I can see.

It doesn’t seem like this is what you are asking, but I feel I should put this here anyway for those that are curious.
You can tell how long a client has had the BES Client installed by the following:
minimum of subscribe times of sites
So if you wanted an alert of newly installed clients, you could have a web report that looks for and alerts:
(now - RESULTS_FROM_THE_ABOVE_PROPERTY) < 1*day

Hi Jgstew,
I configured the above command in my web reports, but we cannot get the mail alert
is there any screenshot please share us,
Thanks,
Nagaraj,
Assuming you created a property named “BES Client Installation Time” with the relevance above (minimum of subscribe times of sites), then you can create an alert within Web Reports for newly installed Clients with session relevance such as
exists values whose ((now - it as time) < 1 * day) of results from (bes property "BES Client Installation Time") of bes computers

i have done exactly that and for some reason it just sends an empty mail every day.
Also buttons “send email/store archive only when report hasd changed” is greyed out along with the rest of them below. see screenshot.
That’s right - you are generating an alert (with nothing in the text box).
You need to have a report that produces the output you want, then change the Type to Report and select your report.
The buttons “send email/store archive only when report has changed” only pertain to reports, not alerts.
ok but i thought Aram suggested this differently as he says he just creates an alert for this.
Anyway im kinda unsure how to create this report before attaching it to the alert i already created, can you direct me a bit more?
Thanks trn
hello , anyone maybe can help a bit on this?
