Discover and Manage Any Type of Device

Open-AudIT is a powerful tool that can give any user invaluable information. Organizations are using Open-AudIT to scan tens of thousands of devices every hour across multiple vendors. This demonstrates the potential that this product has to offer; however, that isn't a good test case for new users. The best way to showcase Open-AudIT is to download the free trial and run a discovery on a single device.

Getting Started

Watch the below 10-minute video to get the software installed.

Once installed, we can discover a single device and see the information that Open-AudIT can provide. Once the program is open, navigate to the "Discover" menu item, then "Discoveries" in the drop-down, and finally "Discover a single device." The next step requires the information that will be used to get the data for you: the network address and the credentials (Windows username, SSH keys, or SNMP Community String). See below.

Exploring Your Results

Once the fields are filled in, click the execute button, grab a coffee, and come back to see your results. These will be located on the devices page. Navigate back to the home screen and you will see a menu on the left panel; click on "My Devices." The device that you discovered will show up, and more information can be found about the device by clicking the blue button on the left. In that short time, you were able to gather all this information about one of your networked devices, imagine the power and insights you would gain by implementing this at scale. You can try these steps with any device in your organization and get valuable information back.
