Chapter 3: Discovering and Adding Network Devices
To do this, you use the DISCOVER MY PORTS option in Discovery Central.
To discover ports:
1. Click Settings near the top right of the application window.
2. Click
Discovery Central
in the Getting Started with Orion category, and
then click
DISCOVER MY PORTS
.
3. If you are planning to monitor users in UDT, click Add Administrator
Credentials.
a. Enter a Credential Name. For example, if this
credential were the one that you want UDT to use in
polling the AD domain controller for user accounts,
you should call it ‘Administrator’.
b. Enter a User Name (Domain\Username) that is
known within a specific domain.
c. Enter and confirm the appropriate password, then
click Next.
Note:
Whatever account you enter must have appropriate
permissions on the AD domain controller for the tasks for
which UDT would use it. The permission required to get
user details is Administrator.
4. Select the desired device classification in the
Group By
list.
5. Select the desired devices in the tree and then click
NEXT
. The discovery
begins.
Note:
If you install SolarWinds UDT on a machine that already
has NPM installed (same DB), then you will be able to add ports
from any of those existing here.
6.
The Advanced Filtering Options
are displayed to reduce the number of
ports to actively monitor.
7. Expand the
Advanced Filtering Options
tree and select the desired
options:
