Discovered Devices

The Discovered Devices section lists all network devices that are sending flow data to the Site24x7 On-Premise Poller. This view helps you review and enable traffic monitoring for these devices with just a few clicks.

How it works

Site24x7 automatically discovers devices that are exporting flow data (NetFlow, sFlow, etc.) to your configured On-Premise Poller. These devices appear in this table with key details like:

• Device Name: The hostname or DNS of the discovered device
• IP Address: The IP address from which flow data was received
• Flows Discovered Time: Timestamp of when flows were first received
• Device Type: Identifies whether it is a router, switch, etc.
• Interface Count: Number of interfaces discovered on the device
• Flow Type: NetFlow version (for example, V5, V9)
• Flow Count: Total number of flow records received (not shown in the image, but implied by the column title)
• Credential: Indicates whether SNMP or other credentials have been associated with in-depth monitoring

Prerequisites

• The On-Premise Poller must be installed and active on the same network as the devices sending flow data.
• Devices must be properly configured to export flows to the poller’s IP address and port.
• Valid credentials must be available.

1. Log in to your Site24x7 account. 
2. Navigate to Network > NetFlow > Discovered Devices.
