Ivanti Edge Intelligence Configuration panel

In the Ivanti Edge Intelligence Configuration panel you can manage Edge Intelligence elements, such as actions, queries and alerts.

Edge Intelligence Configuration page

To access the panel, go to Insights > Edge Intelligence, and click Settings icon.
You can also click the Manage existing actions in Management link at the top of the Manage Actions panel.

Actions, Queries and Alerts

Apart from the built-in actions, you can configure custom actions to create a tailor-made solution. You can also link additional actions to Edge Intelligence queries or alerts.

You must have a role with Edge Intelligence > Configure permissions to configure and link actions. Configured actions are available to members with Edge Intelligence > Perform Actions permissions.
For more information about Roles and Permissions, see Access Control.

Create a new action

  1. From the Ivanti Edge Intelligence Configuration panel, on the Actions tab, click Add new action.
  2. On the New action page, compose your action from available tasks and (optionally) create variables.
  3. Save the action.

For a more detailed step-by-step description, see Create a custom query action from the Edge Intelligence Configuration panel.

Add an action to a query or alert

You can link an action to a query to make it available from the query widget. Link an action to an alert to make it available as an automatic remediation for the real-time event when setting up the alert.

If you save a change to a Quick action (e.g. add it to another query), it is no longer a Quick action. From that moment, the action can only be edited from the Ivanti Edge Intelligence Configuration pane.

  1. On the Ivanti Edge Intelligence Configuration pane, go to the Queries or Alerts tab.
  2. Find the relevant query or alert, open the option menu ( vertical dots icon ) at the end of its line, and select Edit.
  3. On the pane that opens, click Add action.
  4. In the pane that opens, select the desired action.
    An overview of Action data and of Available placeholders for data that is returned by the query is displayed.
  5. Specify the relevant Action data, if applicable.
    • Inherit from action variable - use the default value you configured for the action variable.
    • Ask at execution time - when the action starts, the user is asked to provide input for the variable.
    • Use the following value: - use the value you specify here, for example a query placeholder from the Available Placeholders section.
  6. Click Add to confirm.

Remove an action from a query or alert

  1. On the Ivanti Edge Intelligence configuration pane, go to the Queries or Alerts tab.
  2. Find the relevant query or alert, open the option menu ( vertical dots icon ) at the end of its line, and select Edit.
  3. On the pane that opens, find the action you want to remove.
  4. Open the option menu ( vertical dots icon ) and select Remove.
  5. Click OK to confirm.

Sensors

The Sensors tab was obsolete and has been removed.
For information about managing the location sensor for endpoints, see Create a Configuration.

Targeting

Targeting enables you to limit queries to a subset of the endpoints in your environment. Targets are dynamic and are updated when a relevant property of an endpoint (for example its location) changes.

You must have a role with Edge Intelligence > Configure permissions to configure 'predefined' target groups. These target groups are available to all members with Edge Intelligence > Default Access permissions.
For more information about Roles and Permissions, see Access Control.

Filter

You define a target by configuring a Filter. Filters can have one or more conditions and groups of conditions, which can be combined using And and Or operators.
