What is Open-AudIT?
Open-AudIT is an open source network auditing software used for automatic discovery and inventory of IP network assets. It scans networks using SNMP, WMI, SSH and other methods to collect detailed hardware and software information on devices like computers, printers, routers, switches, firewalls, servers etc.
Once discovered, Open-AudIT stores the device details like make, model, serial number, hardware specs, OS name and version, installed software and updates, network settings and more in an SQL database. This inventory can be visualized through its web interface showing all assets grouped by location, device type, vendor etc.
Key features include:
- Automatic network scanning and asset discovery
- Detailed hardware and software inventory tracking
- Web-based interface to view and manage assets
- Customizable reports and dashboards
- Alerts for unauthorized devices or update failures
- Role-based access control
- LDAP authentication support
Open-AudIT helps monitor all devices in a network, track license compliance, plan upgrades and audits. Its reports provide administrators visibility into IT infrastructure status and changes. Being open source and modular, it can be customized to specific needs.
