Overview

The Paglo Crawler is an open source supersearcher — an agent that probes your network for devices and other IT assets, and discovers everything about them. The Crawler is part of Paglo, the first search engine for IT, a tool that specializes in searching the complex and varied data of IT networks, and in returning intelligent data in both simple text and rich quantitative form. The data that the Crawler finds is visible through a secure Paglo Web account. A single Paglo Crawler can be installed to probe an entire enterprise network.

Crawler_screenshot Paglo finds what no other search engine can find: IT assets. That includes the characteristics of devices on the network, such as type, configuration, and what other devices are connected. That kind of information about a network isn't collected neatly into documents that you can hunt for. If it was, Google could find it. But you know how it is — as soon as you document something in IT, it changes!

Paglo finds this kind of information by sending the Crawler through the network and communicating with each device. No need for hours of manual data entry to document. And Paglo works continuously. The Paglo Crawler does its crawling over and over again, which keeps the data it collects fresh. It automatically self-updates.

The Paglo Crawler stores the information that it gathers throughout your network in your private Paglo Search Index, in a separate and unassailable location that only you have access to. When you log in to your Paglo account, you get all the data that's yours, and only the data that's yours. And you're the only one who has access to it. Your login is the key — no one else can see your data unless you give them your login password.

We have also made the Crawler extendable so you can develop your own plugins to collect additional IT data or use existing add-ons that are available to the community.
