We recommend defining these in the Root group settings. You should supply authentication settings for Windows Systems, Linux (SSH/WBEM) Systems, VMware/XEN Servers, and SNMP Devices in order to fully exploit the power of this feature.If, for example, a firewall blocks echo requests, a device behind it cannot be discovered. PRTG can not discover devices that can not be pinged, since Step 1 uses pings.Please be aware of the following restrictions of the auto-discovery: As soon as new devices or sensors are discovered, new Tickets are created (which are mailed to the system administrator by default). Running the auto-discovery every day or week will automatically create new sensors when new devices are connected to the network. It can be run just once, on demand via the context menu, or scheduled every hour, day or week. The auto-discovery can be used on a group level for a range of IP addresses, or for individual devices which you might have created manually. This is done based on built-in device templates with recommended sensors for many device types.Ĭreating sensor sets using user created device templates (see Create Device Template section). Scanning a network segment for devices using Ping (for groups only).Īssessing the device type for all devices discovered in Step 1 (using SNMP, WMI, and other protocols).Ĭreating sensor sets that match the discovered device types of step 2. PRTG's auto-discovery process has three stages: For video instructions, please see the More section below.įor a quick start auto-discovery, please see TWO-Using the Configuration Guru section. It is mainly suitable for LAN discovery since it involves a lot of SNMP and WMI. PRTG's auto-discovery function is a great way to automatically create a sophisticated and concise set of sensors for your complete network.
