2 Overview
Áú»¢¶Ä²© provides effective and very flexible network discovery functionality. Áú»¢¶Ä²© network discovery is based on the following information:
- IP ranges
- Availability of external services (FTP, SSH, WEB, POP3, IMAP, TCP, etc)
- Information received from Áú»¢¶Ä²© agent
- Information received from SNMP agent
It does NOT provide:
- Discovery of network topology
Every service and host (IP) checked by Áú»¢¶Ä²© network discovery module generates events which may be used to create rules for the following actions:
- Generating user notifications
- Adding and removing hosts
- Enabling and disabling hosts
- Adding hosts to a group
- Removing hosts from a group
- Linking hosts to a template
- Unlinking hosts from a template
- Executing remote scripts
The actions can be configured to respect host or service uptime and downtime.
If Áú»¢¶Ä²© server is compiled with IPv6 support and fping6 utility is missing, ICMP checks will fail for IPv4 devices as well. Only since Áú»¢¶Ä²© 1.8.2 IPv4 addresses are still processed by located fping.
