1. Add a new node:

Assigned to Custom type Cisco which gives more flexibility.

Enter correct username and password.

Important part is to give right maker and model information to get it auto assigned into smart group.

2. Do a check or baseline to new node with proper rule. 

In this example, I used Cisco IOS configuration Rule which is to run Show Running-Config command

3. Rules. 

Create a new rule for your device. Using Network Device -> Common -> Command Output Validation Rule template:

1+new+rule.png?resize=640%2C5071+new+rule.png?resize=640%2C507

In the rule, put proper command just as following screenshot shows:

Next Screenshot shows how to check Checkpoint rules.C

Another thing in the rule is Target Node Type.
