SolarWinds Core Components
Network Discovery
The Network Discovery resource provides the number of nodes and volumes that are
currently monitored. This information is both available and applicable to all installed
SolarWinds products.
Click Network Sonar Discovery to start a Network Sonar Discovery.
Click Add a Single Device to open the Add Node - Define Node view of the Orion Node
Management utility. For more information, see "Adding Devices for Monitoring in the
Web Console"
For more information about options in the Network Discovery category, see "Adding
Multiple Devices (Network Sonar Discovery)."
Additional Discovery Central Resources
As they are released following the release of SolarWinds NPM 10.1.2, each Orion
Platform product will provide its own Discovery Central resource. These additional
Discovery Central resources provide the number of module-related network objects
that are currently monitored. For more information about any of these additional
Discovery Central resources, see the corresponding Orion Platform product
Administrator Guide.
Discovering and Adding Network Devices
There are two ways to add nodes to the Orion Platform database: Web Node
Management and network discovery using the Network Sonar Discovery Wizard. The
method recommended largely depends on the number of devices added. To discover
and add a larger number of devices across your enterprise, the Network Sonar and
Network Sonar Results Wizards are available. This chapter provides instructions for
quickly populating your SolarWinds UDT database with the network objects you want
to monitor and manage with SolarWinds UDT. The Orion Web Console also provides
an easy-to-use Web Node Management wizard suited to discovering and adding
individual network objects. For more information, see "Managing Devices in the Web
Console"
