Network Sonar Results Wizard

After conducting a network discovery, the Network Sonar Results Wizard aids you in determining exactly which devices, interfaces, and volumes you want to add to the SolarWinds Platform database for monitoring.

Select the devices you want to monitor, and click Next.

  • Selecting or clearing the box in the table header selects or clears, respectively, all devices.
  • Discovered devices listed as Unknown may not have SNMP enabled. ICMP‑only devices that are discovered are listed as Unknown.
