What you can do with our IT asset management and inventory capabilities
Auvik’s IT asset management and inventory software enables MSPs and IT teams to efficiently track, document, and manage network-connected devices. Below are key use cases that highlight how these capabilities help tackle common asset management challenges.
Automatic discovery and inventory of network assets
Manually tracking network devices can result in incomplete records, missed assets, and hours of tedious documentation that quickly become outdated as equipment changes. This manual approach not only consumes valuable IT time but also increases the risk of overlooking critical devices that could affect network reliability and security.
With our lightweight collector, which can be deployed as a Windows service, OVA, Docker container, or Bash script, we immediately begin scanning your network using SNMP, CDP, LLDP, ARP, and other protocols to identify every connected device. Our software catalogs over 15,000 device types from more than 700 vendors, capturing essential details such as make, model, serial number, firmware version, and physical location. Auvik continuously rescans your network at customizable intervals, ensuring your inventory stays accurate and up to date automatically and without manual intervention.

Maintain comprehensive and updated asset documentation
Static spreadsheets and manual documentation quickly become outdated as networks evolve, leaving you with inaccurate records that cannot be trusted during troubleshooting or audits. Relying on these methods makes it difficult to maintain visibility and control, especially as devices are added, removed, or reconfigured.
When you implement Auvik, our system begins tracking every aspect of your network devices in real-time. We automatically detect and document when new devices connect, existing ones are reconfigured, or equipment is removed from the network. Auvik also securely stores configuration backups for each device, allowing you to review historical states and track when specific changes were made. Our asset management tool maintains detailed records of each device’s physical connections, IP addresses, MAC addresses, and configuration files in a centralized, searchable repository, making it easy to organize and retrieve information for operational management or compliance reporting.

Track asset lifecycle and end-of-life devices
Identifying which network devices are approaching end-of-life or already unsupported requires maintaining complex records of purchase dates, vendor support timelines, and firmware versions across all equipment. Without accurate and current lifecycle information, organizations risk running outdated hardware that can jeopardize network stability and security.
When you use Auvik, you can pull lifecycle information directly from vendor databases to provide up-to-date support and end-of-life status for each device in your inventory. Our software tracks firmware versions for all supported devices and, for Cisco devices, compares them against the latest recommended releases, highlighting which devices are running outdated or vulnerable software. Additionally, it generates visual indicators and reports that make it easy to identify devices that need attention or replacement, ensuring you’re always prepared for upgrades and compliance requirements.

Centralized asset visibility across client sites or locations
Managing assets across multiple locations traditionally requires logging into separate systems or maintaining disconnected inventories, making it nearly impossible to maintain consistent oversight and standardization across distributed environments. This fragmented approach can lead to inefficiencies and gaps in asset management.
When you manage multiple sites with Auvik, our IT asset management system consolidates all your locations into one comprehensive dashboard while maintaining logical separation between environments. Our multi-tenant architecture allows you to switch between different sites instantly, with consistent navigation and interface elements regardless of which location you’re viewing. Auvik also applies standardized discovery, documentation, and monitoring processes across all sites automatically, ensuring consistent data collection. You can also create custom views and use unified search functionality to locate any device across your entire managed inventory, streamlining asset management across your organization.

What is IT asset management, and how does Auvik simplify it?
IT asset management involves tracking, documenting, and overseeing all your network devices and related technology throughout their lifecycle, traditionally requiring extensive manual effort and attention to detail. Auvik streamlines this process by automating the discovery and documentation of your entire network infrastructure, providing complete and up-to-date visibility into your assets through a single cloud-based interface.
How does Auvik ensure that asset information stays accurate and up-to-date?
Auvik continuously monitors your network and automatically updates asset records whenever devices are added, removed, or reconfigured without requiring manual intervention. The system maintains comprehensive historical records of all device changes, ensuring your inventory always reflects the current state of your network with precise accuracy.
How does Auvik help with network performance in relation to assets?
Auvik inventories your devices and monitors their health and performance metrics in real-time, alerting you to possible issues before they affect your network operations. Our software provides detailed insights into device status and configuration details, allowing you to quickly identify and address performance bottlenecks before they affect critical business services.
Can Auvik track the lifecycle of my network assets?
Yes, Auvik automatically pulls lifecycle and end-of-life information directly from vendor databases for all your network devices, eliminating the need for manual research and documentation. This automated tracking lets you easily identify which assets are approaching end-of-life milestones, so you can proactively plan upgrades or replacements before they become security or operational risks.
What kind of reporting does Auvik provide for asset management?
Auvik offers a wide range of customizable reports that cover asset inventory, device health, lifecycle status, and network configuration changes across your whole infrastructure. You can generate these detailed reports on demand or schedule them for regular delivery to help you stay informed, support compliance audits, and plan effectively for future technology investments.
Is it possible to categorize and tag assets within Auvik?
Auvik enables you to organize your assets by type, location, or role through an intuitive tagging system, making it easy to filter and search through your inventory regardless of size or complexity. This structured approach allows you to quickly find and manage specific devices across all your sites, dramatically reducing the time required to locate and work with particular assets in your environment.
