Assets & CMDB
The Asset Management module is the central inventory and configuration database (CMDB) for all IT and OT assets. Everything in Monozu links back to assets.
Asset types
Section titled “Asset types”IT assets
- Servers, workstations, virtual machines
- Network devices (switches, routers, firewalls)
- Cloud services
OT assets
- PLCs, RTUs, DCS controllers
- SCADA servers, HMI panels
- Industrial switches, gateways
- Sensors, robots, engineering stations
Key attributes
Section titled “Key attributes”| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Human-readable identifier |
| IP address / MAC | Network identity |
| Vendor / Model | Hardware details |
| Firmware / OS | Software version |
| Network Zone | Purdue level placement |
| Site | Physical location |
| Criticality | Low / Medium / High / Critical |
| Lifecycle state | Active / Decommissioned / Planned |
Adding assets
Section titled “Adding assets”Assets can be added in three ways:
- Manually — via Assets → New Asset
- Automatic discovery — via the Monozu edge appliance at your site (after Monozu installation)
- Import — via CSV or API
Asset relationships
Section titled “Asset relationships”Every asset links to:
- Incidents — events affecting this device
- Vulnerabilities — known CVEs matched to this device
- Changes — modifications performed on this device
- Backups — stored configuration versions
- Network Diagrams — topology context
This gives you full operational context for any device in a single view.
Purdue Model zones
Section titled “Purdue Model zones”When creating assets, assign them to the correct network zone:
| Zone | Purdue Level | Typical assets |
|---|---|---|
| Field Devices | Level 0–1 | Sensors, actuators, PLCs |
| Control | Level 2 | SCADA, HMI, DCS |
| Operations | Level 3 | Historians, engineering stations |
| IT / DMZ | Level 4–5 | Corporate IT, firewalls |
