Before you can start monitoring your network you must designate the network
objects you want your SolarWinds installation to monitor. The Getting Started
grouping provides direct links to the following discovery-related views so you can
quickly and easily start monitoring your network:
n
Discovery Central provides a centralized overview of the types and number of
network objects you are monitoring with your SolarWinds installation. For more
information, see "Network Discovery".

Clicking Network Sonar Discovery opens the Network Sonar Discovery Wizard.
Network Discovery enables you to quickly discover devices across your entire
network for monitoring. For more information, see "Network Discovery Using
the Network Sonar Discovery Wizard."

Clicking Add a Node opens the Add Node Wizard directly. For more information
about adding nodes individually, see "Adding Devices for Monitoring in the
Web Console"
