How-to guides

Steps for one task on your own servers.

• Install the collector

  Build the collector, copy it to the collector machine and log it in to the server.

• Prepare the target hosts

  Give the collector an SSH user and one sudoers line on each Linux host. Nothing else goes on the host.

• Run a scan

  Scan a VLAN by hand, from the menus or with flags, and act on the result of each address.

• Schedule scans

  Scan each VLAN from cron or a systemd timer, so that the map stays current.

• Diagnose one host

  When a scan fails on one host, collect only that host with probe. Probe sends nothing to the server.
