Network Discovery Alerts

Network Discovery delivers the complete picture of all your customer's networks for planning, onboarding, support, and billing purposes. Now, you can set up alerts to keep you informed of scan events such as newly detected unmonitored workstations/servers and SNMP devices, as well as scanning agents that have gone offline or whose IP address has changed. This article describes how to:
