Map Endpoint to Scanned Host(s)
The Map Endpoint to Scanned Host(s) page lets you map an asset included in a vulnerability scan report and listed on the Assets page to an endpoint–either a server in BMC Server Automation or a network device in BMC Network Automation. The page presents two tabs: Selected Scanned Hosts and Endpoints. The Selected Scanned Hosts tab shows the assets you selected to be mapped on the Assets page.
If necessary, you can map multiple assets on the Select Scanned Hosts tab to a single endpoint on the Endpoints tab. Conversely, you can map a single asset on the Select Scanned Hosts tab to multiple endpoints on the Endpoints tab. For example, one-to-many mapping might be necessary if there are multiple servers behind a load balancer, but the scan is only detecting a single load balancer. That one host detected in the scan must be mapped to multiple BladeLogic servers.
To map an endpoint to a scanned host
- On the Selected Scanned Hosts tab, determine which hosts you want to map to an endpoint. To use the full list of hosts, skip this step. To remove a host from the list, click
on the appropriate row. Click the Endpoints tab. If you are connected to BMC Server Automation, the page displays two sub-tabs: Search and Browse. If you are connected to BMC Network Automation, the page displays only a Search tab. There is no Browse tab. Use the tabs as described below to find the endpoint or endpoints that you want to map to one or more hosts on the Selected Scanned Hosts tab.
Perform a simple text search to find one or more endpoints.
BSA example:- Enter a text string in the Search text box.
Your text is matched against any text visible on screen, such as part of a endpoint name, description, or OS.
Search strings cannot include spaces or hyphens.
Note that for endpoint searches, you enter data into an elliptical text field. The elliptical shape distinguishes endpoint searches from other types of search.
- When connected to BMC Server Automation, you can optionally use the filters at left to refine your search. In the example below, notice how the search filtered for the Windows operation system produces 6 results while the search shown above produces 10.
There are no filtering options available when connected to BMC Network Automation.
BNA example:
Enter a text string in the Search text box.
Your text is matched against any text visible on screen, such as part of a endpoint name, description, or OS.
Search strings cannot include spaces or hyphens.
Note that for endpoint searches, you enter data into an elliptical text field. The elliptical shape distinguishes endpoint searches from other types of search.
Browse through folders to find an endpoint.
- Select the Browse tab. A list of folders appears at left.
- Navigate to the folder containing the endpoint you want.
As you traverse folders, a trail of "bread crumbs" appears above the Folder list. You can select any name in the bread crumbs to display the contents of that folder.
- Enter a text string in the Search text box.
- On the Browse or Search tab, select one or more endpoints.
- Click Save.
The endpoint or endpoints you selected on the Endpoints tab are mapped to the hosts you selected on the Selected Scanned Hosts tab. If you did not select any hosts on the Selected Scanned Hosts tab, the endpoint or endpoints you select on the Endpoints tab are mapped to all the hosts on the Selected Scanned Hosts tab.
