Manage Assets
The Assets page is the central inventory view for all resources tracked by AttackLens. From here you can search, filter, sort, and take action on individual assets or in bulk.
Viewing the Asset List
Navigate to Assets in the sidebar to open the asset list. The table displays one row per asset with the following columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The asset name (click to open the detail page) |
| Type | The asset type label (e.g., Virtual Machine, Firewall) |
| Environment | The deployment environment badge (Dev, Test, Staging, Prod) |
| Criticality | The business criticality badge (Low, Medium, High, Critical) |
| Status | Current lifecycle state (Active, Inactive, Merged) |
| Updated | The date and time the asset was last modified |
| Posture | The posture compliance score as a percentage |
| Policies | The number of policies assigned to this asset |
| Sensor | Whether a sensor is bound to this asset (Yes/No) |
Searching
Use the search bar at the top of the table to find assets by name, type, or environment. The search runs across multiple fields and updates results as you type.
TIP
You can search by partial name. For example, typing prod-web will match prod-web-01, prod-web-02, and prod-web-api.
Sorting
Click any column header to sort the table by that field. Click again to toggle between ascending and descending order. Sortable columns include Name, Type, Environment, Criticality, Status, Updated, Posture, and Policies.
Filtering
Filters let you narrow the asset list to specific subsets. Common filter strategies include:
- By type: Search for a specific asset type (e.g., "Virtual Machine") to see only VMs
- By environment: Show only production assets or only dev assets
- By criticality: Focus on critical and high-criticality assets first
- By status: Show only active assets, or review inactive ones
- By sensor presence: Identify assets with or without a bound sensor
INFO
Combine search and sort for efficient triage. For example, search for prod, then sort by Posture ascending to find production assets with the lowest compliance scores.
Asset Row Actions
Each row has an Actions menu (the gear icon on the right side) with the following options:
| Action | Description | Required Role |
|---|---|---|
| View | Open the asset detail page | Any role |
| Edit | Open the asset edit form | Posture Manager or higher |
| Delete | Delete the asset after confirmation | Posture Manager or higher |
Deleting Assets from the List
To delete an asset directly from the list:
- Click the Actions menu on the asset row.
- Select Delete.
- A confirmation dialog appears: "Are you sure you want to delete this asset?"
- Click Confirm to proceed.
WARNING
Deleting an asset is permanent. See Delete an Asset for full details on what happens to associated data.
Understanding the Posture Column
The Posture column shows the overall compliance score for each asset, calculated from all assigned policy evaluations. The score ranges from 0% to 100%:
- 80-100%: Good posture (green)
- 50-79%: Needs attention (yellow/orange)
- 0-49%: Poor posture (red)
Assets with no assigned policies show a dash (--) in this column.
Understanding the Sensor Column
The Sensor column indicates whether a sensor agent is currently bound to the asset:
- Yes (green) -- A sensor is actively reporting from this machine
- No (yellow) -- No sensor is bound; the asset was discovered via an adapter or created manually
Assets with bound sensors receive deeper inventory data, OS configuration details, and more accurate vulnerability correlation.
Navigating to Asset Detail
Click the asset Name link in any row to navigate to its detail page, where you can view findings, vulnerabilities, inventory, identifiers, and assigned policies.
