This page explains how to add a secondary sensor to Lansweeper.
A Lansweeper installation consists of the Lansweeper Network Discovery Hub, one or more sensors, and an update service. A sensor is what actually scans your devices and sends scanned data back to the Hub. If you need to, you can add a secondary sensor to an existing Lansweeper installation.
Program Files\Lansweeper Network Discovery\hub\appsettings.json
.Your new sensor should now be fully operational. You should see it listed in the Sensors menu of your Hub. However, you may need to update the Hub URL of your primary sensor and the Hub URL of your primary sensor's update service.
Program Files\Lansweeper Network Discovery\update\appsettings.json
and Program Files\Lansweeper Network Discovery\sensors\OT\appsettings.json
on your primary sensor.If your new sensor fails to appear in the Hub, ensure incoming traffic can reach your Hub over whichever port you configured as your communication port. The default communication port is 85, but you may have selected a different one in the installer. If incoming traffic over the communication port is blocked on your Hub server, remote sensors won't be able to communicate with the Hub.
The installer, by default, adds a rule to Windows Firewall on your Hub server to allow for communication to the Hub. However, if you are using custom firewalls, you may need to manually adjust your Hub server's incoming firewall configuration.
