ipMonitor Feature » Auto-Discovery of Network Devices


  • 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. 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); it also allows you to prevent specific servers, workstations, and devices from being scanned.

The ipMonitor Discovery Wizard offers a multitude of scanning methods, including IP address range, DNS zone, host import and network neighborhood; but also goes one step further by discovering device attributes, classifications and Layer-3 topology information. 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, resulting in considerable time savings when large networks or many resources are involved.

"ipMonitor has met many, if not most, of our monitoring needs with aplomb. It has been very stable and has scaled quite well, monitoring hundreds of devices with each copy. It is quite flexible in its testing and configuration and provides a good variety of notification methods, allowing not just the standard outputs, but custom notification as well."
