2 In the previous microlearning, we learned a bit about Design Architecture.
3 In this microlearning, we will build on that by learning how you can store metadata on a machine level to get clarity on what is happening.

7 == 1. Prerequisites ==

9 * Basic knowledge of the eMagiz platform

13 This microlearning centers around learning how to store metadata on a machine level to give you and your colleagues' insights into what is happening.
14
15 With metadata we mean: Information that tells us something about the characteristics of a machine (i.e. host, name, contact, IP-whitelisting)
16
17 Storing metadata can help you:
18
19 * See where machines are running specifically
20 * See who you should contact in case of troubles
21 * See if there are any custom settings, special consideration when updating anything on that machine
22
23 == 3. Storing Metadata - Design Architecture ==
24
25 Once again we find ourselves in Design -> Architecture.
26 When you double click on a machine or view it via the context menu you get a pop-up detailing information that could help you.

40 As you can see from the examples given it is quite easy to register some information on machine level in a way that all can benefit

46 * See where machines are running specifically
47 * See who you should contact in case of troubles
48 * See if there are any custom settings, special consideration when updating anything on that machine
