Learn about the benefits and components of Lansweeper Discovery and how it differs from on-premises scanning.
Lansweeper Discovery is an all-in-one asset discovery solution that identifies IT, OT, and cloud assets and catalogues them into a single inventory. This streamlines asset and user management, allowing you to manage your entire asset inventory through Lansweeper Sites.
On this page:
Lansweeper Discovery comprises three discovery systems, each with unique capabilities and features.
Each discovery system shares similar configuration components, which you can learn more about in Discovery configuration.
Discover your network's IT and OT assets and view them in a single inventory.
Discover comprehensive data on your local devices using a lightweight scanning agent.
Identify and catalogue all assets within your cloud infrastructure, including virtual machines, storage buckets, databases, and more.
While Cloud Discovery is in preview, your cloud assets do not count towards your asset limit.
Lansweeper On-premises scanning consists of LsAgent, LsPush, and the OT scanner and requires a Lansweeper On-premises installation. Lansweeper Discovery is fully supported by Lansweeper Sites and does not require an on-prem installation.
