Operating Systems Supported in Autodiscovery

Background on the Device42 Test Lab

We test on as many operating systems as we can get our hands on for agentless autodiscovery. This list is by no means exhaustive or exclusive but should provide a good starting point. As a general rule, if there's an OS giving you trouble, we're happy to try and build in support for it. You can email support or submit a request on our website.

note

All discoveries can be run without agents on the Device42 Main Appliance with the option of using one or more remote collectors. Agentless Windows discovery requires at least one instance of the Windows Discovery Service (WDS) to be deployed on your network, where it can reach your desired discovery targets.

Supported Distros and Operating Systems

Major Linux distributions work well with autodiscovery, including:

  • Debian
  • Ubuntu
  • Red Hat
  • CentOS
  • Fedora
  • SUSE
  • OpenSUSE

Most UNIX distros are well supported, including:

  • AIX
  • OpenBSD
  • FreeBSD
  • HP-UX
  • Solaris

Other UNIX distros should also work well with autodiscovery (via SSH).

Major Windows releases (7, 8, 10, Server 2000+) are all supported and should all work well with autodiscovery (via WMI/WinRM).

Discovery of the IBM i powered mid-range line and IBM z/OS powered mainframes are also supported.
