Device objects
The most convenient way of getting devices into Alvao is to import them from external tools that you've already been using. Here is an overview of common options supported by Alvao:
| Import source | Description |
|---|---|
| Microsoft Intune | Use the Microsoft Intune Connector. |
| Computers with the Windows operating system | Use the ALVAO Discovery Agent module. |
| Jamf | Use the Jamf Connector. |
| Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (MS SCCM) | Use the Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager Connector. |
| Zabbix | Use the Zabbix Connector. |
| Lansweeper | Use the Lansweeper Connector. |
| Network printers, routers, switches, etc. | Use the ALVAO SNMP Network Discovery module. |
| CSV file | Use the Objects - New object - Import CSV command. |
Once these imports are configured, apart from the initial import they also update the existing devices in Alvao, and also create newly discovered devices regularly.
Of course, you can also enter new devices manually using the Objects - New object command.
