make hosts files of any system collection?

[Udo Hillenbrand]

Hello,
when I make a collection of any systems in the sim, how make a host file of them?
I will split the different host files to the firms which we moniter in the SIM.
Then I can recover all systems with this files in the discovery -- hosts files.

Thanks

Udo

Well, the make hosts file function in Discovery is really designed to save off everything, but with a few extra steps, I think you can get what you want.

First, create a report that has IP address and host name and associate it with a collection that has just the servers for the firm you wish. Run the report and save it off as an Excel or CSV file. You can use Excel (or your favorite spreadsheet) to add a column with the hostname and append the domain if necessary, and then export it to a file with tabs separating the columns to be in the correct format. Do this for each of your clients.
