Discover and understand the state of your inventory through Lansweeper Sites’ diagramming and mapping capabilities. Diagrams reveal the relationships between your assets using dynamically generated layouts, enabling dependency mapping and strengthening your inventory management.
Diagrams are a visual representation of the inventory synced to your Lansweeper Site. They are automatically generated based on how your installations and IP locations are configured in your inventory. Information is then organized into either network topologies or virtual environments, depending on your setup.
Understanding the relationships between your IT assets is crucial. It enables you to:
Identify underutilized or orphan assets to optimize resource allocation
Strengthen business continuity planning
Improve incident, change, and security management
Increase cost efficiency and support long-term strategic planning
For diagrams to work correctly, your installations must be synced with your Lansweeper Site, and your inventory must be correctly configured, including proper setup of IP locations.
For a feature overview and training video, see Fundamentals: How You Visualize Your Data.
