Device Information
Device Information in Native UI

Device Information shows the details of the selected device retrieved from 1E. It is the icon (dot) present adjacent to the Configuration Item (CI) field. 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. To see device information, click on the status icon shown as a green dot in the picture.

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 pop-up screen subsequently displayed shows details collected for the device by 1E such as CPU, RAM, Last Boot, Last Connected and Status. The information of the device will get refreshed when the data 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.

If you click on the little button 1E Device View given on the Device Info pop-up Screen, it will open the record in the Service Operations Workspace as shown in the picture below. To view this button, set the system property x_1e_connect.device_view_button_visibility value to True.
