Annotating allows you to associate specific tags or labels to the assets you choose, which aids in managing and reporting on those assets.
Creating annotations for your enterprise
This guide describes how to create and customize annotations for your environment that can be used for querying, filtering, alert notifications and reporting.
Configuring Data Center annotations
The Data Center annotation is typically used to associate a storage array, switch, or physical host asset with a data center location. You may choose to associate the Data Center annotation with other assets in your environment as well.
Configure Tier annotations
The Tier annotation is used to associate assets with their respective Tiers, for use in cost accounting, for example. Insight comes with a number of default Tier annotations; you may modify these according to your tiering naming conventions or create your own Tiers as needed.
Configure custom Environment annotations
The Environment annotation is a custom annotation for associating assets with their respective environmental location or use, for example, Lab, R&D, Production, etc. By creating the Environment annotation and setting it onto these assets, you can easily find, filter and report on your Lab assets separately from your Production assets, for example.
