Install UDT.

To install the User Device Tracker (UDT), see the SolarWinds Platform Installer.

Discover your network.

Once UDT is installed, use the Network Sonar Wizard to discover the devices on your environment.

If you already are already monitoring your network with SolarWinds NPM or other SolarWinds Platform products, you can skip this and go to the next step.

Select the SolarWinds Platform nodes to monitor with UDT.

Now that you have a database of all the devices currently in your environment, select those you want to monitor with UDT.

Select an Active Directory Domain Controllers to track user logins.

If you want to use UDT to track user logins, you will need to add an Active Directory Domain Controller.

Rogue Devices and setting up a list of allowed devices.

Set up a white list of devices you regard as safe and not to be monitored. Devices detected on your network that do not appear on the white list are displayed on the Rogue Devices list. Devices stay on the Rogue Devices list until they are marked as safe or moved to the watch list.

Set up a watch list.

Manually enter any devices you want to put on the Watch List.

Examine the Device Tracker Summary page.

As soon as UDT begins to monitor your devices, the widgets on the Device Tracker Summary dashboard will begin to show data.

Locate network devices.

Search for devices by user name, hostname, IP Address or Mac Address, node name, node port, or vendor using UDT's search tool.

Create alerts to notify you by email when specific devices are detected on your network.
