Template keys are listed in the Template Keys and Groups / Template Keys node in the structure tree. They can be moved to their own sub-folders.
Static template keys are not visible in the structure tree; their values are received directly from the device. Static template keys are marked with the § symbol. The following static template keys are available:
-
MAC: MAC address of the device
-
HOSTNAME: Host name of the device
-
UNITID: Unit ID of the device
-
SERIALNUMBER: Serialnumber of the device
