Pending Assets
The Pending Assets list is another important element of WOCU in the management of monitored items. Once an Import Task has been completed, the imported items will be brought to this place. In this way, the user can perform a review of the imported items, their configuration and attributes before deciding whether or not to include these Assets in the list of Operational Assets. In other words, the Pending Assets list is the first mandatory step before monitoring the imported items.
The Pending Assets tab has the subsections Hosts and Contacts, explained in detail below.
Note
The number next to the Pending Assets tab indicates the number of Hosts it contains.
Hosts in Pending
This sub-section shows the set of Hosts sent to the pending list, where the user must determine what to do with each of them.
Pending Hosts list fields
The fields in this list are as follows:
✓ Status
This field includes a label that informs about the status of the Host in question, namely whether it is a new item (
NEW) or whether changes have been made to it (UPDATED).
✓ Host Name
This field contains the Host identifier.
✓ Display Name
This field contains the name given to the Host to be displayed on screen: this (Display Name) may or may not match the Host Name and can be used to identify the element with its alias or an easier to remember nickname.
✓ Address
This field contains the IP address of the Host.
✓ Tags
This field includes the tags assigned by WOCU after import. These tags correspond to the Host type automatically determined by WOCU, usually Operating System or manufacturer of the item.
✓ Templates
This field contains a series of tags that inform the user of the configuration templates used and assigned to the host. Each of the tags corresponds to a Configuration Template applied.
✓ Packs
This field contains a series of tags that inform the user of the configuration of the monitoring profile assigned to the host. Each of the tags corresponds to a Monitoring Pack applied.
✓ Import from
This field indicates the type of Import Task that has beenused to obtain the Host information in WOCU-Monitoring.
Actions from the Pending Hosts list
Because of their significance, the Actions applicable to each Host in the inventory of Outstanding Assets are described below in a separate section.
Monitorize
By clicking on the Monitorize button, identified by a monitor icon, the Host in question will be migrated directly to the list of Hosts in Assets, i.e. to the monitoring plant of the aggregated infrastructure.
The action will take place after confirmation:
Are you sure you want to monitor the pending host with [Host name] as its name?
Pressing the Monitorize button will definitely send the item to the Hosts in Assets list.
Attention
The Pending Assets section is the first step before monitoring with WOCU-Monitoring. Therefore, by means of the two drop-downs located in the upper left part of the view, it is possible to send pending assets either to the list of Operational Assets (Monitorized) or to the Blacklisted. Finally, you can also massively remove assets with the Remove option. It is very easy to use, more information at: Asset dispatch actions: Blacklist, Monitor or Remove..
Differences
Remember
During the launch of Import Tasks (Tasks) it is possible to rediscover Hosts that are already being monitored, i.e. items that were previously scanned and imported and that with the execution of a new task, a modified version of the Host is discovered, and consequently, in a first instance, goes into the database of pending assets.
By clicking on the Differences button (identified by two overlapping squares), a new information window will appear where, through a tabular format, the main differences in the configuration of a Host that has been rediscovered after the launch of an import task are presented, i.e. this table shows the variations in the configuration of the Host that is being monitored in Active Assets and its modified and updated version in Pending Assets.
With this information, the user can decide whether to update the Host being monitored with the new properties, or to discard it and keep its configuration.
Attention
This button will only be enabled for Hosts that reach Updated status.
For each Host, two tables will be displayed:
General Information: includes modified general attributes and properties.
Differences in Macros: includes modified variables and configuration parameters.
Both tables are organised in three columns:
Column Name: configuration attributes that have undergone some modification between versions (alias, display name, latitude, adress, use, etc.).
Column Active (Old): values of the Device included in the monitoring plant.
Column Pending (New): modified values of the newly discovered Host.
Note
The system will identify new versions of modified Hosts, when sharing the same Host_name.

Delete
Pressing the Delete button corresponding to the row of a particular Host will permanently delete the Host from WOCU.
After selecting the deletion action, the following confirmation message will appear:
You are about to delete [number] of hosts. Are you sure?
To permanently remove the Host, press the red Remove button, or otherwise press Cancel to go back without making any changes.
Important
In case the user confirms the deletion of the Host, the import task has to be re-launched, so that the Host is back in the Pending Assets list.
More information can be found at: Import Tasks (Tasks).
Detailed Host Information
By clicking on the name of a particular item, the corresponding detail view will pop up with the configuration values of the different attributes of the Host registered in the system.
The fields in the information window are described below:
General Information

Attention
The Pending Assets section is the first step before monitoring with WOCU-Monitoring. Therefore, by means of the two drop-downs located in the upper left part of the view, it is possible to send pending assets either to the list of Operational Assets (Monitorized) or to the Blacklisted. Finally, you can also massively remove assets with the Remove option. It is very easy to use, more information at: Asset dispatch actions: Blacklist, Monitor or Remove..
Important
The different navigation, search and sorting options available on this screen are explained in detail in the section: Common navigation, filtering and sorting options in WOCU.
Asset dispatch actions: Blacklist, Monitor or Remove.
As mentioned above, the Pending Assets list is the first step before monitoring. Therefore, from the following drop-downs it is possible to send Pending Assets, either to the list of Active Assets (Monitorized) or to Blacklisted Assets (Blacklisted).
The management of elements is executed from the following drop-down options:
Selection of items from the list
Clicking on this drop-down menu displays all the options for selecting items in the list. These are:
Select the complete list (Select All)
Select only the current page of the list (Select Current Page)
Do not select any item (Select none): to deactivate the previous options.
It is also possible to manually select items from the list by clicking on each item.
To choose one of the available options, simply click on it.
Item shipment selection
By clicking on this drop-down menu, the different options for sending items from the list (previously selected) are displayed. These are:
1) Send to Active Assets (Monitorize): applying this option the selected Hosts will be migrated to the WOCU’s Active Assets list.
2) Send to Blacklist: applying this option the selected Hosts shall be migrated to WOCU’s Blacklisted Assets. The Host will remain in the Blacklist even if new Import Tasks are executed and it is re-imported or rediscovered.
3) Remove from Pending Assets List: applying this option the selected Hosts shall be removed from the Pending Assets list, and consequently, from the whole tool, since once an import task is completed, the discovered elements are brought to this list.
Important
In case the user confirms the deletion of the Host, the import task has to be re-launched, so that the Host is back in the Pending Assets list.
More information can be found at: Import Tasks (Tasks).
Apply
This action carries out the set configuration. WOCU will not apply any changes until the Apply action is activated. This reduces the risk of moving elements by mistake. Once the Apply button has been pressed, the following message will appear:
If the user is satisfied, the green Monitorized button or the black Blacklist button should be pressed to execute the migration of items, or the Cancel button to interrupt the operation and go back.
Both of the above options must be configured in order to apply, otherwise this action will not be available (it will be greyed out).
