The Assets workspace is the default landing page when you click Monitor on the left navigation menu on the Infoblox Portal. This workspace displays real-time information about the assets in your network infrastructure.

Business KPI Ribbon

On top of the page, the business KPIs provide weekly insights based on the most recent 7-day period and are updated daily at 00:00 UTC

On top of the page in the business KPI ribbon, you can see statistics about the following assets:

  • Zombie Assets: Displays the total number and the percentage change of zombie assets in your networks. Zombie assets are network devices, including idle public IP addresses, detached storage volume, and idle load balancers, that are vulnerable for or compromised by a hacker via virus, computer worms, or trojan horse programs to perform malicious acts.

  • Unregistered Assets: Displays the total number and the percentage change of unregistered assets in your networks. Unregistered assets are network devices that have missing DNS records or have not been registered as legitimate assets in your network. These assets may not have trusted certificates or fingerprints.

  • Noncompliant Assets: Displays the total number and the percentage change of noncompliant assets in your networks. Non-compliant assets include publicly accessible storage, publicly accessible virtual machines, unsecured storage volume, and permissive security groups.
