System tags and NOREPORT

Tags are a growing thing and are getting some serious development attention. Right now you can add multiple tags to assets, and these can be use to create custom graphs. We intend to expand tags so use can use them to customize how ShadowTrackr behaves. Needs differ. One client is happy to see all websites with a 404 or 503 response in the reports, another does not want them in the reports.

The latest addition are system tags, and this week we start with the first one: “NOREPORT”. If you tag an asset as NOREPORT ShadowTrackr will still monitor the asset and even send alerts if you have configured them, but the asset will not appear in any reports. Not even in the weekly pdf. System tags are blue and all caps. You can still add your own tags of course and these will appear in purple. In the coming weeks you’ll see more system tags appearing and in due time we also intend to support custom reports based on tags.
