- Scan the network to auto-discover network devices and servers
- Discover network device attributes
- Query a server or device for possible monitors that can be added
- Add new monitors with a few mouse clicks
ipMonitor automatically scans your network and assembles a list of potential resources to monitor, which saves you tons of time and makes it easy to get started. Using the Startup Wizard, ipMonitor enables you to have full control over the range of IP addresses that are scanned for discovery and the types of discovery methods that are used (e.g., DNS, ICMP/PING, and SNMP). The wizard also allows you to prevent specific servers, workstations, and devices from being scanned.
Additionally, ipMonitor makes it easy to add multiple SNMP communities and any custom ports that are in use in your environment. As ipMonitor scans the network, you can even view the real-time status of the scan.
In just minutes, ipMonitor returns a list of resources that were found during the network discovery process. You can quickly navigate through this list to determine which resources should be monitored and then launch the Add Server Wizard from within the same page to query the device or server to determine which pre-configured monitors can be utilized for that equipment.
Scan results are automatically cached by ipMonitor, allowing you to return to the results list and add monitors for specific devices at any time after the initial scan. This means that there is no need to rediscover the network each time the wizard is used.
"Other apps […] would have required me to download the MIBs individually from each vendor’s web site and load them manually – a long and tedious process. ipMonitor’s process is the smoothest I’ve ever found"
