Overview

Opmantek applications are flexible and adaptable working well for any organization, all of the applications will work out of the box and can be easily customised to meet specific needs.

First add devices (and necessary credentials) so data can be collected. Then use your Opmantek applications to access the information you need to gain visibility of your IT environment.

This guide will help you to get the most from your Opmantek Applications.

Discover

Open-AudIT is your simple to use discovery tool. Perfect for networks small or large. To discover "What's On Your Network?", we have a wizard to guide you through adding credentials and a discovery run. The process involves adding some credentials and creating a discovery entry. The entire process is documented further on the Open-AudIT wiki page How to use Open-AudIT Discovery on a Subnet.

Audit

Once you have discovered your devices (ie, you know "something" is there), you need to audit it. Auditing a device will retrieve a great deal of information about the device. It's manufacturer, model, serial, hardware, software, settings and more are all retrieved. Auditing is generally part of the discovery process. If you have working credentials for a network device (using SNMP) details will be retrieved such as model, serial, manufacturer, etc. If you have credentials for a computer (running Windows. Linux, MacOS, AIX, Solaris), an "audit script" will be copied to the device, run on that device and the result sent back to the Open-AudIT server. Our scripts require no additional components to be installed on the target devices. You can find out about what is required from your devices on the Open-AudIT wiki page Target Client Configuration. The details of the target devices retrieved are listed on the Open-AudIT wiki page Which attributes for each device type?

Manage

Now that you have discovered your network and audited your devices, keep on top of them. Make sure you are notified of any changes, any new devices and so much more. Manage your networks and your locations.
