Hi all,
New to the Solarwinds product, post-purchase and still in my first days of installation. So forgive any obvious fails :-)
I am curious about the IPAM product, I am aware of its basic purpose. But I´m also interested in some added benefit.
It looks to me it is not capable of detecting rouge/additional IPs, but just to manage known IPs you have purposely imported. It then has the capabilities of scanning the subnets for changes and retrieve information of pre-registered IPs. But it does not detect a new IP in the subnet if it has not been previously imported. Useful because people don’t always remember to do the paperwork and add it to the IPAM
Workaround, I could populate all my subnets with their IPs and thus the IPAM will detect when it starts to respond. but assume this will count as licensed IPs. But there is no notification or flag when a new IP starts to respond, my preference it would need to be approved/registered.
My ideal product would keep track of all my subnets as a regular IPAM, and then notify me of new IPs that is discovered during scheduled scans. Those new IPs could then be manually processed and approved. Preferably these rouge IPs would all be listed up in a bucket list.
Same applies to new subnets if they are configured and not registered. They should be flagged in the IPAM when discovered.
Maybe this only makes sense to me and my IP environment :-)
Hope to get tips and pointers if this is already possible.
..or maybe get this approved as a useful feature.
