Organizations allow you to group devices into Organizations/departments/owners. While you can set this up later, if you are configuring a permanent implementation of Open-AudIT it can be easier to build this out before adding devices.
Organizing your Devices and Users
Defining Locations
Leveraging Locations to Speed Up Searching and Display
Discover and audit devices.
Building your Network Discovery
Creating Roles.
The Roles endpoint allows you to create and manage the set of permissions(Create, Read, Update, Delete).
Baselining Devices
For auditing and management purposes it can be advantageous to baseline individual devices against a fixed, know good device. Baselines enable you to combine audit data with a set of attributes you have previously defined (your baseline) to determine compliance of devices. Follow the link below to walk you through setting this up.
Baselining Devices for Consistency and Standardization
File/Folder Auditing
For auditing and security purposes it can be advantageous to monitor individual files, or all files in a folder, for changes. Open-AudIT Enterprise has the ability to audit files on both Windows and Linux operating systems.
Collector / Server creation.
Collector / Server is designed so that you can have a 'collector' Open-AudIT running on a subnet and discovering devices that is controlled by the 'server'. This feature requires Open-AudIT Enterprise.
