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