baramundi Inventory, Network Devices & Energy Management

The baramundi Network Devices module automatically scans the network for devices that support SNMP versions 1, 2c or 3 based on defined IP ranges and SNMP rule sets. For non-SNMP endpoints, you scan via ARP to identify devices by IP and MAC address regardless of type or type and compare target and actual status. SSH also makes it possible to include LINUX-based and other systems in the inventory.

Inventory reporting gives you a detailed overview of all system data in your baramundi database. Standard hardware and software reports are included and you can create custom reports as needed.

Detection rules logic determines how each network device is detected and which values are imported into the database. Rules can be nested using operators, comparisons, and checks to accurately identify individual devices and capture additional values. A standard rule set for the most common network devices is available for download in the baramundi Management Suite. It can be supplemented with additional rules and values as needed. Custom rules can be defined using a PowerShell script.

Detected network devices are clearly displayed and can be organized into subgroups. They can also be displayed in an IT/network map showing device connections and details. Views can be exported for reporting flexibility.

baramundi Energy Management records the type and power state of each device (powered up/down, in standby, etc.). Consumption values are assigned and determined by device. Clear reports show the energy usage of computers, displays and connected peripherals. You also can create reports for groups of devices or individual endpoints. You decide where and how to define energy consumption guidelines. You can automatically implement conservation and cost-saving measures on all applicable devices without impeding network performance. 

With baramundi Network Devices, you can define and assign custom device properties such as physical location, purchase date, cost center and other details for IT asset tracking and reporting. User-definable client commands make it easy to complete actions on network devices or industrial control devices directly and enable immediate responses to support requests. For example, printer connection problems can be analyzed and device-specific data such as toner cartridge serial numbers can be displayed.
