Create a Label Type
Illumio Segmentation for Data Centers provides the default label types Role, Application, Environment, and Location. You can define custom label types to reflect additional characteristics of the workloads in your installation. Create any label type that meets your organization's business needs. For example, you might label workloads according to their operating systems. The maximum number of labels is 20.
To create a new label type:
From the PCE web console menu, choose Settings > Label Settings.
On the Label Settings page, click Add.
Enter a unique Key. The PCE will use this key to identify the label internally, such as OS.
Enter singular and plural versions of the Display Name (Operating System and Operating Systems).
Enter a label type initial, a one- or two-character unique initial to be displayed with the icon (for example, OS).
Choose an icon.
Choose foreground and background colors to be used when the label is displayed.
Click Save.
The new label type will appear in the web console UI wherever the default label types appear, such as in the Type dropdown selector when creating a new label.
