The BlueCat Management dashboard enables you to identify any IP address space that is missing from your BlueCat Address Management (BAM) server.
The dashboard provides these device attributes:
- Active - True/False status indicating whether the device responded to a Lumeta probe
- Device Type - Descriptor of the device such as server, router, printer
- DNS Name - Name given to device by Domain Name System
- First Observed - Timestamp of when the device first responded to a probe from Lumeta
- IP Address - The IPv4 unique device identifier
- Last Observed - Timestamp of when the device last responded to a probe from Lumeta
- LocationCode - Indicates the country, city in UN/ LOCODE, and custom locations such as CA TOR OF1 indicates: CA= Canada TOR=Toronto OF1=Office 1.
- MAC Address - The IPv6 unique device identifier
- OS - Operating system running on the device
- State - Categorizes IP address assignment permanence (e.g., static, DHCP-reserved, gateway)
- Zonename - Name of the zone in which the device was discovered
IPs Unmanaged by BlueCat
IPs Lumeta found on your network that BlueCat doesn't know about and doesn't have under management. Together, these unknowns represent a policy-management gap and vulnerability that could be exploited. This information is presented visually, in a bar chart that shows the volume of unmanaged, and also in a table with details on each unmanaged IP address (i.e., IP and MAC address, responsiveness and when the first and last response was received, and the Zone in which the device is located).
IPs Unmanaged by Lumeta
These are those IPs managed by BlueCat that Lumeta did not find on the network. Typically there will not be any devices managed by BlueCat that have not been indexed by Lumeta. In the event these widgets show results, check your your Lumeta discovery configuration, which is not providing the level of visibility you require.

BlueCat and Lumeta Managed IPs
BlueCat- and Lumeta-Managed IPs - When this subset becomes the whole (i.e., when all devices are managed by both resources, your organization's e-policy is well in hand.
