Click the name of the virtual machine you are interested in. The Information window is displayed

● In the General tab you can find the following details:

– General virtual machine information, such as name, FQDN information, IP address, operating system, infrastructure, parent group and current status. You can also assign the virtual machine with a label. You can therefore search and filter computers by label using the Label column search field from right-side table of the Network page.

– Security details related to the installed agent, such as agent type, version, last update, product and signature versions, used antimalware engines and license status.

– Information regarding the assigned policy (name, assignment mode and status). Click the policy name to open the policy template and view its settings.

– For virtual machines connected to a Bitdefender Tools machine, you can find information about the name, status and type of assignment (direct / inherited) for the assigned Security Server.

– For virtual machines connected to a relay, under Connected to Relay section you can find information about the connected relay endpoint, such as name, IP and label.

Note

Each property generating security issues is marked with icon. Check the icon's tooltip to find out more details. Further local investigations may be needed.

4.3.3. Organizing Virtual Machines into Groups

You can manage virtual machines groups in the left-side pane of the Network page, under the Custom Groups folder.

Virtual machines imported from VMware vCenter are grouped under the VMware Inventory folder. Virtual machines imported from XenServer are grouped under the Citrix Inventory folder. You cannot edit the VMware Inventory or the Citrix Inventory.

You can only view and manage the corresponding virtual machines.

All virtual machines that are not managed by vCenter or XenServer systems are detected by Network Discovery and placed under Custom Groups, where you can organize them into groups as you want. A major benefit is that you can use group policies to meet different security requirements.

Under Custom Groups you cancreate,delete,renameandmovevirtual machine groups within a custom-defined tree structure.

Note

● A group can contain both virtual machines and other groups.

● When selecting a group in the left-side pane, you can view all virtual machines except for those placed into its sub-groups. To view all virtual machines included in the group and in its sub-groups, click the Filters menu located at the upper side of the table and select All items recursively in the Depth section.

Creating Groups

Before you start creating groups, think of the reasons why you need them and come up with a grouping scheme. For example, you can group virtual machines based on one or a mix of the following criteria:

● Organization structure (Sales, Marketing, Quality Assurance, Software Development, Management etc.).

● Security needs (Desktops, Laptops, Servers, etc.).

● Location (Headquarter, Local Offices, Remote Workers, Home Offices etc.).

To organize your network into groups:

1. Select Custom Groups in the left-side pane.

2. Click the Add group button at the top of the left-side pane.

3. Enter a suggestive name for the group and click OK. The new group is displayed
