Aruba Central Attribute Reference
This reference lists the attributes that Device Security collects from Aruba Central,
their names as stored in Device Security, and the Device Security fields they map to.
When
Device Security integrates with Aruba Central, it imports wired and
wireless network data to enrich the device inventory. The attributes in this reference
cover wired and wireless clients, gateways, switches, access points, and access point
interface data.
The third-party attribute name in Device Security refers to the attribute name
as it appears in the Assets Inventory table and in Query Engine. This follows the format
of third-party-name.attribute-name.
When viewing the attribute name in the Assets Inventory table column selector or on a
Device Details page, where the third-party name can be found as a header for the
attributes section, then the third-party name is removed from the attribute name.
For example, micrsoft_defender_xdr.macAddress would appear in the
Query Builder and in the Assets Inventory table, but under , the attribute would appear as macAddress.
Wired Client Attributes
Device Security collects wired client attributes from the Aruba Central monitoring wired
clients API. Each record describes a client device connected via a wired interface.
