Leverage the power of the widely adopted SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for efficient network scanning and management of your IT estate within ALVAO.
With SNMP, you can detect nearly any network element regardless of device type or operating system, effortlessly establishing a comprehensive overview of your IT assets.
SNMP discovery extends the capabilities of the autonomous agent, facilitating seamless information exchange between devices and Asset Management, crucial for maintenance and smooth operations.
In case of an unauthorized device connecting to the internal network, an unavailable infrastructure component, or an outdated device firmware, IT is immediately alerted to take necessary action.
Moving to ALVAO IT Asset Management or simply updating records across your IT infrastructure? The SNMP scanner discovery streamlines this process. Whether it's Windows, Linux, MacOS or any other SNMP compliant device, the scanner seamlessly identifies it and adds it to your IT inventory.
When a device or infrastructure component that is missing from the asset register is detected, the system automatically creates a new item including all the essential details about the device. You can also use some of this information for network topologies in the Configuration management database (CMDB). This eliminates manual effort and ensures that all records are up-to-date.
ALVAO's SNMP scanning empowers you to monitor critical device parameters relevant to your work. For example, you can track toner levels in printers. For instance, when toner levels fall below your predefined threshold, an incident ticket is automatically created within the ALVAO Service Desk for toner replenishment. This eliminates the need for manual device checks or reliance on third-party applications, offering a centralized view within ALVAO.
ALVAO and Microsoft Intune work together to provide you with a single, unified view of your IT environment, giving you unprecedented control over your devices and infrastructure.
