Viewing the device adapter listing
This topic provides instructions on viewing the list of device adapters.
To learn about the states of a device adapter and various types of device adapters available in TrueSight Network Automation, see Managing-device-adapters.
To view the list of device adapters, log on to the application server with a user having administrator privileges, and go to Admin > Network Admin > Device Adapters.
The Device Adapters page displays the adapter name, enabled status (Yes or blank), state, most recent modification date, and the user who most recently modified the adapter. The total number of rows below the menu bar indicates the total number of device adapters available in the system.
Device type adapters are organized by vendor. Custom actions or external scripts are organized by group name (Additional Trails, Diagnostics, and so on). You can enter a string in the text box below the column heading or select an option from the drop-down menu to filter the list. You can view the details of a device adapter, including its source code, by clicking its name.
You can import, export, or refresh the device adapters.
