more information in asset view

[Fossy777]

Hi,

I have updated to newest version and I miss some information in asset view. In versions 4 one could see on the right in a seperate column which default protocols (e.g. telnet, http, https, ssh, ...) answered while scanning this asset. In new version there is no such information but it was very helpful sometimes.

Best regards, Jochen

We have forwarded this information to development, but these fields will most likely not be added back. Performance would be negatively impacted.

Hi,

thank you for this tip.

Anyway I think that is not as good as before. Let me explain by three examples...

1. Imagine I have a relatively secure network topology (e.g. in PCI) and the Lansweeper server is placed in a special subnet for inventory, monitoring and alerting systems to which is allowed to contact all systems all ports. My admin pc is placed anywhere else firewalled as all other clients but allowed to access the Lansweeper website. I can see all scanning information of windows machines: what was detected when and so on. But on network devices I can only see when they were detected and answered pings. If I then run device tester it maybe can contact the device and the ports but it also maybe cannot depending on the firewall rules between my Pc and the device, because device tester runs on my admin pc instead of on the server.

2. Imagine the device uses DHCP and goes offline or gets a new IP and meanwhile another device or pc gets it´s IP. I then test a PC and not the device the website was showing me it has found.

3. Historical change data: I never know when a device was changed to support additional protocols or changed to not support a protocol any longer.

What do you think about that?

This information is no longer displayed on asset webpages. We’ve optimized scanning so that no further protocols are checked when an asset's device type has been determined. You can check which protocols are open by running the following DeviceTester.exe on your Lansweeper server: http://download.lansweeper.com/tools50/DeviceTester.exe
