This section will describe **Device Rules** in Cacti.
Cacti Automation relies on create device Rules these rules help the automation process figure out what type of device is being scanned.
Based on the device rule REGEX the automation engine can apply the appropriate template to the device i.e if there is a REGEX for IOS.
The automation engine may pick the Cisco router template for the device
![Automation Device Rules](images/automation-device-templates.png)
Below you will be able to choose a REGEX that will help identify the device the REGEX can be in any Perl supported format.
You can select either to match by system description i.e the device hostname or the system name i.e Cisco
An example regex for Cisco would be
(Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software|IOS)
This matches based on the system name of the Cisco IOS software
Using this info automation would apply the appropriate device template you choose
If you see below we match for a system that matches Linux once a device is found with that system name
it is assigned the Net-SNMP device template.te.

If the System/Device you are matching has a unique OID you can also match based on that.

# Automation Discovered Devices
This section will describe **Discovered Devices** in Cacti.
After you initiate a scan from automation Cacti will compare devices
found to the device rules and SNMP options you set.
If Cacti is unable to match the device to a device template or unable to
find a proper SNMP credential.
Also if you have the automatically add to Cacti set to off the devices will
also be put in this section.
The Discovered Devices section can be found by navigating to the
following area.
![Discovered Devices](images/automation-discovered-devices-dropdown.png)
Below you can see devices that have been found during the scan that did
not meet a match criteria.
You will see the IP that was scanned as well if avaliable the resolved
hostname either via DNS or netbios.

You can then select the device you are interested in adding click the
checkbox next to the device
on the dropdown you select add device this will bring up the below menu.
From this Menu you will be able to fill out the details of the new device.

This section will describe **External Links** in Cacti.
External Links allows Administrators to add tabs to external links within
the Cacti GUI. This can be for example to google.ca
When the user clicks on the Tab an Iframe will display the webpage.
This feature can be very useful to create a single UI for helpdesk/NOC.
