AI Agents can’t manage your network without context. NetBrain delivers it. NetBrain provides a proven, safe path to Agentic NetOps, backed by an AI-powered platform informed by network context, real customer outcomes, and enterprise network expertise.

Effortlessly identify SNMP-enabled devices within your network by utilizing SolarWinds® Network Performance Monitor (NPM). The NPM includes a network discovery feature known as Network Sonar Wizard, which leverages SNMP monitoring to swiftly generate a comprehensive inventory of your network assets. After you input the IP addresses, IP ranges, or subnets along with the necessary SNMP credentials, NPM takes care of the rest. You have the option to either perform a one-time discovery or schedule recurring jobs to track newly added devices. Manually maintaining accurate network topology maps can be quite challenging, especially as your network grows or incorporates additional devices. To simplify this process, SolarWinds NPM offers intuitive tools for network visualization through customizable dynamic mapping. You can easily create multiple auto-updating maps and modify their visual attributes to suit your preferences. Additionally, this tool provides the capability to showcase device performance metrics, allowing you to better understand and monitor the overall efficiency of your network while also enhancing your ability to make informed decisions regarding network management.
