User Device Tracker Port Discovery
When you have finished discovering network devices and importing them into the Orion Platform
database, you must discover the Ethernet ports on those devices whose connections you want SolarWinds
UDT to monitor.
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. Select the desired device classification in the Group By list.
4. Select the desired devices in the tree and then click NEXT. The discovery begins.
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.
5. The Advanced Filtering Options are displayed to reduce the number of ports to actively monitor.
