Network discovery lets you scan a client's network on demand, and discover all the connected endpoints and network assets. With a single click, you can onboard the assets into SuperOps and start monitoring them.
Prerequisites
Valid WMI credentials (For Windows devices)
Valid SSH credentials (For Mac, Linux, and Windows devices)
The SuperOps agent should be on the latest version
1. Add WMI/SSH Credentials
A valid WMI or SSH credential is required for SuperOps to discover endpoints on a network and fetch asset information. Here's how you can enter your credential information into SuperOps:
Go to Settings > Credential Definition.
Give your credential a name and select the client and site.
Select the protocol (WMI or SSH) and enter your credential information.
2. Add a probe
Next, add a probe or convert an existing asset (that already has the SuperOps agent installed on it) into a probe. Check out this article for step-by-step instructions to add a probe.
If your probe is unable to reach a subnet, you can add this subnet manually by following the instructions here.
3. Scan for devices
Once your probe is created, initiate a scan. Check out this article for step-by-step instructions.
4. Start monitoring your discovered assets
In the Discovered Assets tab, you will see the list of assets that the probe was able to discover in your client's network. You will see that the discovered assets are split into three tabs:
Endpoints: Workstations and servers
Network Assets: Network infrastructure devices such as printers, routers, etc.
Others: Devices that were discoverable only via ICMP
Endpoints
You can start monitoring workstations and servers discovered by the probe using the Install option. You can select your assets in bulk and install the agent with a single click.
Network Devices
You can start monitoring network assets using the Add option.
Note: An active network monitoring add-on pack is required to monitor network devices.
