Crawler discovery

The Paglo Crawler gathers a tremendous amount of IT information, and it can be configured via plugins to gather even more. For example:

  • As soon as you install it, your Crawler immediately starts gathering data from switches and WMI using a set of default credentials.

  • Your Crawler uses 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:
  • Dashboard_shareit1_small
    • 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

  • Your Crawler uses 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

  • Your Crawler uses 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
