Adding and Managing Devices in ObserveOps (formerly known as AIOps)

ObserveOps monitors your infrastructure by discovering devices and turning them into monitors. Before ObserveOps can collect data from any device, it needs to know how to reach it and where to find it. You set that up through two profiles: a Credential Profile and a Discovery Profile.

How Device Onboarding Works​

ObserveOps uses a Credential Profile to authenticate with devices and a Discovery Profile to define the scan scope. Once discovery runs, found devices appear on the Provisioning screen for you to confirm as monitors.

Adding devices follows these steps:

  1. Create a Credential Profile to store device authentication details.
  2. Create a Discovery Profile to define the target devices and link the Credential Profile.
  3. Run the discovery to scan your network.
  4. Provision discovered devices as monitors on the Provisioning screen.
