CA NSM refers to any resource as an asset, which is defined to CA NSM as a member of one or more asset groups. An asset group may have a single member or many, and access to an asset group can be permitted to either a user group or an individual user. You can also define nested asset groups.
An asset group is defined by assigning a name to the new asset group and specifying the assets that are to be members of the group. Asset groups can be nested within other asset groups and can be included as members of multiple asset groups.
Assets that are members of an asset group are identified by the following:
The asset type is the category into which the asset logically falls. You can define your own asset types; you also have available over 60 predefined asset types identified by the prefix, CA‑.
For a list of supported asset types, see the asset type tables in the online CA Reference under the Security Management cautil ASSETTYPE command.
For procedures to define your own asset types, see Defining Dynamic Asset Types in the online CA Procedures.
The asset name, or asset ID, is used primarily to identify specifically and individually a particular instance of an asset type.
