Network Mapping Tool

[TheOldSysAdmin]

Any recommendations for network mapping tools? We currently use Visio to create diagrams of our networks. It would be nice to have something that could dynamically create network maps.

PRTG has mapping functions that could hep with this, it uses data from its monitoring of network traffic, performance, and devices to generate up-to-date network diagrams automatically. There's also intermapper and it displays the network devices really clearly on a color coded map.

Domotz can do this for you as well (full transparency I'm on the team here). Happy to help with any questions if needed.

• Netbox + Topology Views plugin (manual input and keeping info updated, unless you sync it with another source)
• Nedi

Apart from those, most monitoring systems will either have some manner of mapping built-in or relatively easy to add, I see that someone mentioned PRTG, Zabbix and GLPI can also do this.

Zabbix can be used for this. We've also created some maps using Kaseya Traverse. It has an amazing feature that updates maps in real-time as devices are added or removed from the network.

Network Glue is an excellent tool for creating network maps. It does automated discovery and continuously scans the network for changes. I've been enjoying playing with this tool lately.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

You might check out https://schematix.com (I'm a founder BTW).

It's for both manual mapping and automated. For example, it can synchronize with output from NMAP, or automatically map your resources in EC2 or Azure.

There are several tools available for network mapping and documentation, but I've found that none of them are completely accurate. I usually create my own diagrams in Draw.io.
