OT: Network Asset Tracking
Posted: Fri Sep 27, 2013 12:56 am
Hi All,
apologies if this OT post is out of line. I am wondering if / what other Nagios users do about Network Asset Tracking. I have about 2,200 devices on my network and am monitoring the main servers / switches etc. I'm not interested in putting the other 2,150 devices into Nagios for monitoring, but I would like to know exactly what and how many devices are connecting to my network.
I am wondering what products others are using for this. I have looked at Spiceworks (too busy / too many adverts), Open-AudIT (very immature but shows promise), Manage Engine AssetExplorer (hugely expensive) and a couple of others.
Does anyone here have any other suggestions?
Ideally I'd like to be able to label / tag all my devices and possibly use an agent to get detailed hardware information about the pcs, macs and linux boxes on my network. Even more ideally would be the ability to tag the approximate 1300 iPads that are connected as well but this is not vital.
Cheers,
Chris.
