Lansweeper Network Discovery components (hubs and sensors) are updated automatically. Updates are managed through groups, which apply a consistent schedule and configuration across multiple systems.
All systems are initially placed in the Default Network Discovery Group, but you can edit or create groups to control update timing and configuration.
View or manage groups
To see an overview of all groups, go to Discovery > Groups.
Review the list of groups, including their type, the number of assigned systems, and the corresponding maintenance period.
Configure scheduled updates
In your Lansweeper Site, go to Discovery > Groups.
Select Default Group Network Discovery. By default, this group manages all your Network Discovery hubs and sensors.
To pause or resume the auto-updates, select Enable scheduled updates.
Select the days and times when updates should be applied.
Select Assigned systems. Select or deselect the systems you want to be assigned to this group.
Select Save changes.
Add a new Network Discovery group
In your Lansweeper Site, go to Discovery > Groups.
Select Create group > Network Discovery group > Add group.
Enter a name and description for the group.
Choose the update schedule (day and time).
Select Assigned systems to pick which Network Discovery systems belong to this group.
Select Create group.
Best practices
Keep the Default Group enabled unless you need different schedules for specific systems.
Use additional groups to stagger updates across regions or environments.
Regularly review the update schedule to align with your change management windows.
Group by system type or role if different hubs need different update timing
