  • Experience Scores

Device Info

Device Info is an icon displayed on the right-hand side of the Configuration item field, as shown in the picture below. The status of the device can be identified by looking at the color of the Device Info icon. When it is green, it means the device is online and when it is red, it means the device is offline. If you hover on the icon, it shows the last connect date and time stamp of the device.

If you click on the icon, a pop-up appears with the detailed information about the selected device, as shown in the picture below. The information of the device will get refreshed when the date changes.

The Device Info icon appears only after it is configured using Form layout setup. The device selected here should match the criteria defined in x_1e_connect.device_info_ci_criteria property. The default value of this property is sys_class_name=cmdb_ci_pc_hardware^ORsys_class_name=cmdb_ci_computer which states that the selected device class should be either ci_pc_hardware or cmdb_ci_computer. An admin user can update this criterion any time.

The system property x_1e_connect.DeviceInfoSyncTime accepts an encoded query that is used to filter device information data from x_1e_connect_device_info table.

Experience Scores

The 1E Experience tab on the incident page shows the Experience data for the selected device.

Experience Scores are imported from 1E Experience. To view Experience scores

  1. Navigate to 1E ITSM Connect → Incidents.
