You can create local file evidence records in Flexera One ITAM or FlexNet Manager Suite when you need to track a file that doesn’t appear automatically in inventory. This is helpful when working with Unix‑like devices, where unassociated file evidence without an extension may be removed during reconcile to improve performance. Creating local evidence ensures the file remains available for use in a local application.
- Navigate to the All Evidence page
- Select the File evidence tab
- Select the Create Evidence button
- Populate the File name field with the name of the file.
NOTE: For file evidence from Unix-like OSes you must include the file path with the name. The file path can include the wildcard character (%), and must start with a forward slash (/).
- Navigate to the Applications tab.
- Use the Search bar to look up an existing application.
- Select the application.
- Select the Add Applications button.
- Please be sure to adjust the Existence rule on the file evidence. Typically "at least one" is recommended.
- Select the Create button to save your changes.
For more information about creating a local application in Flexera One, please refer to How to create a local application in FNMS/Flexera One.
