Network visibility starts with knowing what’s on your network. In this episode, we explain network discovery techniques using tools like ping sweeps, SNMP queries, and Nmap scans to identify devices, operating systems, and open services. You’ll learn how to distinguish active vs. passive discovery methods, the importance of using up-to-date inventories, and how to prevent disruptions while scanning.

We also cover real-time performance monitoring, including metrics like CPU, memory, interface utilization, and error counters.
