Configuring Live Devices For the Device Audit Report

Overview

To use the Device Audit report, SecureTrack Reporting Essentials (STRE) requires access to your devices directly. You must provide device credentials for each live device in the network zone on which the report runs. The same credentials can be entered once for multiple devices.

To configure offline devices, see Offline Devices.

Prerequisites

You must have admin-level credentials for the devices being accessed.
To configure device credentials, you must have super admin permission levels in SecureTrack.
Managed devices must have the same credentials as their management device.

Procedure

Go to Settings > Setup Device Audit.

The The Setup Device Audit Report page appears.

The Configure Devices section shows the devices that can be included in the Device Audit report.
Above the list of devices, use the Domain (for multi-domain environments) and select the Vendor to filter the list of devices that appear.

Click here for a full list of supported vendors.
In the device list, select all the devices that share the same set of credentials. Click the first checkbox to select all devices.

The credentials that you enter will be used for all the selected devices.

Enter the device credentials (if they are not populated already).
- Login Username
- Login Password
- (Cisco Only) Enable Password (Optional)
- Port: Leave empty to use the default port: 443 for HTTPS and 22 for SSH.
After setting up device credentials, you can test them by clicking Test Credentials. During this process, STRE checks to see if it can reach the device with the credentials that you provided.
If communication between STRE and one or more devices failed, you will get a message and this icon appears:

Click this icon to see alerts as to which devices failed. The icon disappears when all device credentials test successfully.
Click Save to save the credentials.

If you want to stop the test credentials process, click Abort Test.
