Adding Multiple Devices (Network Sonar Discovery)
SolarWinds products employ the easy-to-use Network Sonar Discovery Wizard to direct you in the discovery
of devices on your network. Before using Network Sonar Discovery, consider the following points about
network discovery in SolarWinds UDT:
n The Network Sonar Discovery Wizard recognizes network devices that are already in your Orion
Platform database and prevents you from importing duplicate devices.
n CPU and Memory Utilization charts are automatically enabled for your Windows, Cisco Systems,
VMware, and Foundry Networks devices.
n The community strings you provide in the Network Sonar Discovery Wizard are only used for SNMP
GET requests, so read-only strings are sufficient.
The following procedure steps you through the discovery of devices on your network using the Network
Sonar Discovery Wizard.
To discover multiple devices on your network:
1. If the Network Sonar Discovery Wizard is not already open, click Start > All Programs > SolarWinds
Orion > Configuration and Auto-Discovery > Network Discovery.
2. If you want to create a new discovery, click Add New Discovery, click Add New Discovery.
3. If you have already defined a network discovery, a number of options are available on the
Network Sonar Discovery tab. Select one of the following:
n If you want to edit an existing discovery before using it, select the discovery you want to
edit, and then click Edit.
n If you want to use an existing discovery to rediscover your network, select the discovery
you want to use, click Discover Now, and then complete the Network Sonar Results Wizard
after discovery completes. For more information about network discovery results, see "Using
the Network Sonar Discovery Results Wizard"
n If you want to import some or all devices found in a defined discovery that you may not
have already imported for monitoring, select a currently defined discovery, and then click
Import All Results. For more information about network discovery results, see "Using the
Network Sonar Discovery Results Wizard."
n If you want to import any newly enabled devices matching a defined discovery profile,
select a currently defined discovery, and then click Import New Results. For more information
about network discovery results, see "Using the Network Sonar Discovery Results Wizard."
n If you want to delete an existing discovery profile, select a currently defined discovery and
then click Delete.
4. If the devices on your network do not require community strings other than the default
strings public and private provided by SolarWinds UDT, click Next on the SNMP Credentials view.
