Processor Conversion application

Use the Processor Conversion application to control the display of imported data for central processing units (CPUs) installed on computers in deployed assets.

You can standardize processor names and aggregate different processor names. These actions reduce the number of processor names displayed. Each conversion record specifies a target processor name and a variant or a set of variants. The variants are variations of the name that translates to the target name when adapter data display for deployed assets. To gather this data, discovery tools scan computers, network devices, and network printers deployed in your enterprise and record the information about the hardware and software installed on those assets. An integration tool imports the collected information into the database. You can view this data and also use it in reports.

Example: Using variants to control the display of data

Discovery tools use variants, such as Meson 490 Processor and Meson 490 CPU, for processor names. Your enterprise might want to use only Meson Processor.
