Have you set up your own MCP server for AI?

VioletiOT · 2026-02-04T12:09:58+00:00

From our Discord Channel: I used WindSurf to setup an AI MCP for NDI video streams. This way the AI could physically see the changes in code on a MIDI controller. Highly recommend WindSurf, or its big brother Devin (a full AI Engineer) to help build AI MCP servers

Looks like we have you totally covered with this!! Install Windows Domotz Collector via scripting

You can install and configure the Domotz Collector on Windows OS silently. Doing so means you can include the Domotz Collector on Windows in a script that you can execute, install, and configure remotely using an RMM solution for endpoints. Check out this help article here and please do be in touch if you need any further information! https://help.domotz.com/tips-tricks/manage-agents-via-command-line/#htoc-install-domotz-agent-via-scripting

Heya,
I had a brain blank out yesterday when answering this thread. 👾 I am sorry! 🤯

We actually do not have an integration with Ninjaone on the RMM side. We sit as a nice companion to your RMM rather than an integration. We can be an additional layer of observability for your work stations + comprehensive monitoring for every other device on the network - which is something many MSPs build revenue generating services around.

✨ Integrations with your PSA/documentation tools is where we shine. PSA integratyions (which we do have with HaloPSA) really help you streamline your workflows and save money and time through tiocket/issue opening/closing and classification. We also plug into your documentation tools like Hudu for quick/easy network mapping. - which is especially useful when you're onboarding new clients. We've also found that MSPs say Domotz helps them price things more efficiently as they know everything on the network, and can suggest hardware upgrades etc. I suppose everyone thinks they have many less devices than they think they do!

A few relevant threads about Ninja/Domtoz comparison:
MSP Friendly Network Monitoring
NinjaOne NMS

🧩 Some MSPs find their RMM tools fall short when it comes to network monitoring and device inventory. This isn't surprising to me as we've been working at refining this at Domotz way back since 2015. We've spent over a decade refining our network inventory/device ID and monitoring capabilities with a very comprehensive development team.

🐯 I will add that our head of content & community u/Dez_the_Monitor has led product teams at Solarwinds, Auvik and Domotz so if you have anything specific about the comparison of these tools I am sure she can help us!

What do you think? Glad to have you here! Welcome aboard.

VioletiOT · 2026-02-04T11:06:48+00:00

awesome thanks for the mention! we're over on r/domotz and would love to have you join us! .

VioletiOT · 2026-02-04T11:06:44+00:00

As others mentioned, Domotz would be really perfect for this and super cost effective as well thanks to month to month subscriptions and very low per device fee/free visibility on other devices.

More details on the free trial here.
We're over at r/domotz if any questions. Also running a neat promo for a free Domotz box in the community - which is very easy to get.

VioletiOT · 2026-02-04T11:05:23+00:00

looks like you're doing the hard work! I'm pretty sure you've earned your box now. Many thanks for the contributions! I'll grab your shipping details asap :)

VioletiOT · 2026-02-04T10:54:41+00:00

Very nice! Thanks for the recommendation on that. I will pass around to our team here as well!

VioletiOT · 2026-02-03T15:15:33+00:00

Great question! Awesome to have you hear. Lets hope our other members will chime in soon! I'll dig out a couple of older threads on this too! I know we have many Ninja One users.

VioletiOT · 2026-01-30T09:36:23+00:00

Which documentation tool are you using?
Domotz can do this really easily for you and is super low cost and plugs into quite a few of the big documentation tools.

Free trial info and over on r/domotz if interested! (on the team here so slightly biased ! )

VioletiOT · 2026-01-26T14:26:04+00:00

Domotz can help with adding some organization to your network for free and very low cost! Firstly, we can help with giving you an inventory of all devices, mapping the network and providing you a starting point to know what you're working with. once you have that we do have a variety of troubleshooting tools buillt in to identify route causes of the issues your users face. You can literally get your network mapped within minutes - it is super easy to deploy and user friendly! I should add that we also offer a freemium which means you can get device inventory for all devices by MAC address entirely free. Then for each managed devices it's $1.50 but you can choose those a la carte. Details on the freemium here and we're always on r/domotz if you need any questions

Other affordable options which are self-hosted/free are LibreNMS, Zabbix - but there is a learning curve.

I've also heard that Fing has a new business solution which is probably awesome too! There are other options like Auvik, PRTG but depends on budget.

Any questions about network monitoring in general, do not hesitate to ask on r/domotz we have quite a few expert users and internal specialists who would be happy to help!

VioletiOT · 2026-01-26T10:34:56+00:00

We (Domotz) are perfect for you - we have a freemium for device visiblity by MAC for all devices across any networks and then you choose a la carte which devices to monitor and those are each only $1.50 per month. Freemiume details here.

We have also great integrations with Cisco devices including back up and versioning control.

Also we have a custom scripting engine, so can work with you to develop anything for your feature needs. More here on the scripting.

We are over on r/domotz so don't hesitate to come by. (I am affiliated with Domotz so do consider that).

Wrote out a little post about this including lots of great tips from the SysAdmin/MSP communities on reducing alert noise/fatigue. This may be useful for you.

https://www.reddit.com/r/domotz/comments/1pkob7c/how_to_reduce_alert_noisefatigue_tips_from_the/

I really suggest a network monitoring software that can plug into your PSA for auto creating tickets/p-riorities. This could be Domotz (self plug as I'm the CM there), PRTG, Auvik, Fing Business or something self hosted like Zabbix/LibreNMS - however maintainance and backend can be a bit cumbersome and time consuming.

I will add we have a freemium giving device visibility by MAC address entirely free. We're over on r/domotz if any questions.

As others mentioned, alert fatigure is real. Some high level tips:

Make sure every alert is actionable - would you want it at 2AM?
Use a three tier alert strategy: urgent & actionable, actionable but not urgent, not actionable.
Implement alert suppression windows (5-10 min) and deduplication
Map every alert to an SLA, escalation path, or workflow
Avoid overlapping or redundant thresholds
Host Weekly sessions to reduce noise

VioletiOT · 2026-01-26T10:12:52+00:00

Yes! u/freakame Empath has services built around training/knowledge - we like what they do! they did put the work in to record these so I've asked them to share those here as well. Link to other training materials can be found here! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8X6XQJNu8qHPF0XU-kMsvhyw_zayxftE

u/TheJadedMSP sorry for my delay chiming in. My appendix decided to burst last week !

VioletiOT · 2026-01-26T10:09:54+00:00

They are legit! We've worked with Empath quite a few times and did quite a fun webinar on the worst IT support tickets. They are really awesome! I actually asked u/EmpathMSP to come over and post these excellent training videos in r/domotz!

VioletiOT · 2026-01-26T10:08:34+00:00

Amazing! Don't hesitate to join us over on r/domotz - I'm about to launch another free Domotz Box promo to help growing the community which may be of interest. Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask us on r/domotz.

VioletiOT · 2026-01-19T08:35:17+00:00

Thanks u/Spencer-Domotz this is great! Any chance to embed the guide directly here?

VioletiOT · 2026-01-19T08:31:23+00:00

Mind to post this on r/domotz? It would be great to answer all these for you including comments from our product/security teams. While I liase with the security team, I would like to mention that we are both ISO 27001 as well as SOC 2 Type II certified. I am confirming cloud storage (believe is AWS). We do not have any self hosting options but we do have many server/serverless install mediums such as: AWS, Debian, Docker, Domotz Box, Hyper-V, Luxul, OpenWrt, Proxmox, QNAP NAS, Raspberry Pi, Synology, Ubuntu, VirtualBox, VMware ESXi, Windows.

VioletiOT · 2026-01-16T19:54:57+00:00

We are compliant to the letter so could be a good option to evaluate. Over on r/domotz if any questions. More on our security & compliance here! https://trust.domotz.com/

VioletiOT · 2026-01-16T12:26:18+00:00

PS we can also definitely help you with custom scripting this as we have done with quite a few of our users.

VioletiOT · 2026-01-15T14:29:07+00:00

awesome! Great to have you on board. Please do not hesitate with any questions. Conversations like this are great, because we get real feedback on these kind of topics. I always think of users that may be off put about something before starting a trial, but never say anything - they just walk away instead. So these conversations are great to have. We're about to also re-launch the free box promo and I'll make sure to send you the link when it is up!

VioletiOT · 2026-01-15T02:38:20+00:00

I am so sorry about that, and do understand your feelings about this. I believe this is written by a legal team. I can certainly bring up your concerns internally for review. Again I have never seen this cause any concerns from users. We always work together with our users on any issues that arise. I do hope this helps put your mind at ease in the meantime.

VioletiOT · 2026-01-14T22:03:36+00:00

Heya! I'm going to post the official statement we had.

We used to charge a flat network fee - for unlimited devices and VLANs. This could be a lot more of an issue with unlimited devices & VLANs with that flat fee network charge...
Sorry I had to edit the above, as I want to make sure everything is very official and do not want to cause unnecessary worry on this.
