Crawler discovery
The GoToAssist Crawler gathers a rich and deep array of IT information. As soon as you install it, your Crawler immediately starts gathering data from switches and WMI using a set of default credentials. You can extend it by adding plugins to gather even more, such as:
- Crawlers use Windows credentials to gather data from Microsoft Exchange 2003 servers, from Windows Registry about Windows systems on the network, and from Windows machines that use WMI, such as:
- Device name
- IP address
- BIOS information
- Manufacturer
- Running processes
- Display settings
- Network adapter settings
- Installed updates
- Printer settings
- Services
- Disk information
- Processor info
- Shares
- Accounts
- Startup programs
- Memory information
- Anti-virus settings
- Firewall settings
- Crawlers use SNMP, SSH, and Telnet credentials to gather data from devices that use SNMP, or that run Unix by running commands via SSH or Telnet, such as:
- MIB information
- Disk
- Memory
- Processor information
- Config files
- Kernel messages
- Running processes
- Switch bridging tables
- Crawler use the Directory Server plugin and SNMP Interface Statistics plugin to gather data from Active Directory servers, and about interfaces from switches, routers, and other hosts, such as:
- Names of users on system
- Groups that users are members of
- in_octets and out_octets
- Error messages
