Add a new device

The core workflow every other tutorial in this section builds on: getting one device from "not monitored" to reporting data and detections.

What you'll need

  • A connected sensor
  • The device's management IP and a working protocol (SNMP, SSH, or WMI)
1

Open Add device

From Devices, click Add device and choose the sensor that has network access to it.

2

Pick a protocol

SNMP v2c or v3 covers most routers, switches and firewalls with no agent required. Use SSH for devices that only expose a CLI, and WMI for Windows hosts.

3

Verify and save

Linivo runs a live test poll before saving, so a wrong community string or credential fails immediately instead of showing up as an unreachable device an hour later.
