Automated Network Documentation Software

Network documentation software helps IT teams manage and track the detailed configurations and state of their network devices.

Auvik automates the creation and maintenance of network documentation, including dynamic network topology maps, device inventory, port mappings, serial numbers, firmware versions, VLAN assignments, and lifecycle data. By automating these processes, Auvik eliminates the need for manual documentation and reduces errors, giving IT teams real-time insights into their network infrastructure with minimal effort.

Auvik’s auto-discovery feature continuously scans your network, ensuring that documentation is always up to date. Changes to device IP addresses, firmware, configurations, and connectivity are reflected immediately in your centralized documentation view. This real-time synchronization guarantees that your documentation remains accurate, eliminating the risks of outdated or incomplete records and enabling faster decision-making and troubleshooting.

Auvik captures comprehensive information about every device and connection on your network, including serial numbers, switch port locations, VLAN IDs, IP assignments, device types, and hardware lifecycle information. All of this data is stored in a centralized, searchable database, making it easy to access and manage all network details in one place, whether for audits, reporting, or routine maintenance.

Yes, Auvik integrates with major ITAM and ITSM platforms like ServiceNow, ConnectWise, and other internal CMDB systems, enabling seamless syncing of device inventory and documentation across your existing IT tools. Additionally, Auvik allows for easy exporting of network documentation, ensuring that data can be shared and utilized across your organization’s ecosystem for better workflow integration.

Auvik tracks lifecycle data like firmware versions, warranty contract status, and EOL (End of Life) dates for all network devices. Auvik’s hardware lifecycle insights provide reports on lifecycle data, allowing IT teams to plan proactive replacements and ensure there’s no disruption to network performance. This automated approach to lifecycle management helps avoid downtime and extends the life of critical network infrastructure.

Auvik stores all documentation in the cloud, making it easily accessible to all teams across the organization. Teams can quickly search, filter, and drill down into device-specific details without needing to rely on outdated spreadsheets or tribal knowledge. This accessibility ensures that everyone — from network engineers to support staff — has the information they need to manage and troubleshoot the network effectively, no matter where they are.

Yes. Auvik centralizes all network configuration changes and timestamps each update, making it easy to track historical inventory changes. Auvik’s documentation outputs are ideal for audit evidence, providing the transparency and detailed records required for compliance with industry regulations such as PCI, HIPAA, and SOX.

Auvik integrates network documentation directly with topology maps, device dashboards, alerts, and configuration history. This integration provides a holistic view of your network, allowing teams to easily access contextual information about any device with just a few clicks. Whether you’re troubleshooting, performing audits, or planning network changes, Auvik’s interconnected documentation gives you all the relevant data at your fingertips.

Auvik is designed to scale seamlessly across large, multi-site networks. Its automated discovery and real-time updates allow documentation to be consistently accurate even as your network grows. Whether you’re managing thousands of devices across multiple locations or complex VLANs and subnets, Auvik’s documentation capabilities scale without performance degradation, providing visibility and control at any scale.

By automating inventory tracking, updates, and documentation, Auvik significantly reduces the time and resources required to manage network documentation. MSPs and IT teams report saving hours per site each week, as Auvik eliminates manual data entry and updates. Additionally, Auvik’s cloud-based platform means there are no on-premises hardware costs or maintenance fees, reducing overall IT infrastructure expenses. The efficiency gained in managing documentation frees up valuable time for higher-priority tasks, leading to cost savings and improved operational efficiency.
