Data gathering templates

Gathering templates define the data read from the devices. They are used in two places:

  • in Audit > Data gathering, to generate a network-wide report;
  • as sources in Compliance rules.

Each template returns a set of columns. This page details them, field by field. The templates below are provided out of the box.

Note

The columns available in a Compliance rule match the fields listed here. There, the field name is followed by its source in parentheses.
