vScope 3.27

3.27.10, 23 October, 2023

Improved customization: Filter tag values when creating new tags

Create tags with values from other tags and use custom filters to fetch the exact values you are looking for. This is especially useful if you want to count or sum specific values from either another tag, or from a related asset. In the image above, we create a tag with all the Chrome applications that are installed on the machine – by filtering the Installed Applications tag matchin *Chrome*.

Find it in vScope: Creating tags using filters are available in Tables or Tags (admin or contributor permissions required)

Enhanced Discovery capabilities: Inventory platforms without targets using proxy

Assign cloud platforms to be discovered using a Proxy. This way you can customize the inventory scope even further, by eg. inventorying various Azure environments using different proxies.

Find it in vScope: Go to Discovery Manager > Credentials and select a cloud data source (eg. Azure, Amazon, or Jamf).

Microsoft 365 Defender: Customized asset inventory

Choose to either inventory all devices in Microsoft 365 Defender, or ignore those that are Inactive. Inactive devices in Microsoft 365 Defender, are those devices that have been enrolled in the platform but has Sensor Health = Inactive. Devices will automatically be removed from Defender after six months of inactivity.
