How to View and Manage Asset Inventory

How to View and Manage Asset Inventory

Overview

Asset Inventory shows the records Interno has collected from your connected integrations and from Manual Ingestion. Rather than one fixed table, you choose a source — a single collected data set, such as devices or users — and the table then shows the columns that source actually carries.

This guide covers the three tabs on the page, choosing a source, reading the table, filtering, controlling columns, exporting, and opening a single record.


Prerequisites

  • At least one integration with a completed scan, or an approved Manual Ingestion upload. Until Interno holds data, Asset Inventory is greyed out in the sidebar.
  • defence:dashboard:view to open the page. Without it the page is blank.
  • defence:widget:view for the Asset Coverage Matrix and User Access Coverage tabs

Opening Asset Inventory

Navigation: Sidebar → Assets → Asset Inventory

  1. Click Assets in the sidebar to expand it.
  2. Click Asset Inventory.

The page opens with three tabs:

TabWhat it showsCovered in
Assets ListingThe collected records for one source at a timeThis article
Asset Coverage MatrixWhich of your tools report each host, IP address or domainHow to Use the Endpoint Comparison Matrix
User Access CoverageWhich of your tools know each userHow to Run a User Access Review

Assets Listing: Choose a Source

Navigation: Sidebar → Assets → Asset Inventory → Assets Listing

  1. Click the Source: dropdown at the top left. Its placeholder reads Please select a source.
  2. Pick the data set you want to look at.

Until you pick one, the table is empty. Once a source is selected:

  • a chip beside the dropdown shows the total number of records, labelled with the source — for example Total devices:
  • the table fills with that source's records, 250 to a page
  • three icon buttons become usable at the top right

A source is one normalised table. Records from every tool that feeds it sit together, so the devices source can hold endpoints reported by several tools at once. The sources you see are the ones your connected tools and uploads have actually produced; see Interno Data Sources & Fields (Data Dictionary).


Assets Listing: Read the Table

The columns are whatever the selected source provides, so they change when you change the source.

  1. Click a column header to sort by that column.
  2. Use the pager below the table to move through the records.
  3. Click any row to open its details (see Opening a Single Record).

Assets Listing: The Three Buttons

ButtonWhat it does
Filter (funnel icon)Opens Apply filters for the selected source. Hover the icon to see the filters currently applied, or No filters applied. The icon is outlined in green while filters are active.
Column Visibility (eye icon)Opens the list of columns so you can show or hide them
Export Data (download icon)Opens the export dialog

Filtering

Navigation: Sidebar → Assets → Asset Inventory → Assets Listing → funnel icon

  1. Select a source.
  2. Click the funnel icon. The Apply filters for window opens for that source.
  3. Set one or more filters.
  4. Click Apply.

Two filters are pinned at the top of the window, followed by one field for every column in the source.

Pinned filterUse it to
zcn is latestShow only the most recent snapshot of each record (Yes), or only older snapshots (No)
zcn sourceShow only the records that came from particular tools

The kind of control follows the column:

Column typeControl
TextA searchable list of the values that actually exist in your data; pick one or more
NumberA minimum and a maximum
DateA start and an end
Yes or noYes or No

Filters combine: a record must satisfy all of them to be shown. Reset clears every filter; Close leaves them as they were.

Tip: If the window shows No filters available, the source has no filterable columns. That is not an error.


Choosing Columns

Navigation: Sidebar → Assets → Asset Inventory → Assets Listing → eye icon

  1. Click the eye icon to open Column Visibility.
  2. Switch columns on or off.
  3. Click Apply.

Reset turns every column back on. Column choices apply to the source you are viewing and start afresh each time you change source.


Exporting

Navigation: Sidebar → Assets → Asset Inventory → Assets Listing → download icon

  1. Select a source and apply any filters you want reflected in the file.
  2. Click the download icon.
  3. The Export asset listing dialog opens, naming the Source: it will export.
  4. Click Export.

A CSV file named after the source's table is downloaded, and you see Asset listing exported successfully.

Row limitThe first 100,000 rows. Narrow the filters to export a larger source in parts.

Opening a Single Record

  1. Click any row. The Assets Details drawer opens on the right.
  2. The drawer lists every field held for that record as a name and a value.
  3. Type in Search fields... to jump to a field.
  4. For a field that holds several values, a chip shows how many items there are; click the arrow beside it to expand or collapse the list.
  5. Click the copy icon beside a value to copy it.
  6. Click the Close icon to return to the table.

A field with nothing recorded reads Not available.


What Asset Inventory Does Not Do

  • It does not let you edit, tag or delete records. The data is whatever your tools and uploads supplied.
  • It does not merge records across sources. To see one machine across several tools, use the Asset Coverage Matrix tab.
  • It does not show two sources side by side.

Troubleshooting

Asset Inventory is greyed out in the sidebar → Interno holds no data yet. Connect an integration under Admin → Integrations and let its first scan finish, or upload a workbook through Manual Ingestion.

The page is blank → Asset Inventory needs defence:dashboard:view. Ask your administrator.

The Source dropdown does not list the data I expect → A source appears only once a tool has delivered that kind of data. Check the integration's scan under Admin → Integrations.

"Please select a source to apply filters" or "Please select a source to export" → Pick a source in the Source: dropdown first.

The columns are not the ones I expected → Columns come from the selected source. Change the Source: dropdown.

A column I need is missing → Open Column Visibility and switch it back on. Column choices reset when you change source.

The count looks too high → The source keeps earlier snapshots as well as the current one. Filter zcn is latest to Yes.

"Unable to export asset listing" → The export could not be produced. Try again with narrower filters; if it persists, contact support.

My export stops at 100,000 rows → That is the limit for a single export. Filter the source and export it in parts.

Nothing appears on the Asset Coverage Matrix or User Access Coverage tab → Those tabs need defence:widget:view and data of the right kind. See the two articles named in the table above.
