Devices Can’t Hide When SolarWinds User Device Tracker Is On The Hunt!
What do you do when you need to find a device on your network and all you have is an IP address? Switch and port management can be a game of beat the clock when you’re trying to find a lost or rogue device before it logs off your network. SolarWinds User Device Tracker (UDT) makes it easy to instantly find a device and retrieve the username, switch name, port, port description, VLAN and more. Simply search on a username, IP address, Hostname or MAC address, and User Device Tracker will quickly find the current location of your device. If the device is not currently connected to the network, historical data will show the last known location. You can even set up alerts to notify you when specific users or devices connect—so you can be there waiting. It’s like having your own network-sniffing bloodhound!
SolarWinds User Device Tracker delivers the device-tracking capabilities of an expensive switch port-tracking appliance at a price point that won’t have your CFO looking around where you don’t want him or her to be. There’s no reason to drop a bundle on an expensive appliance when you can use SolarWinds User Device Tracker to quickly find lost or rogue devices, create a device watch list and even track switch capacity.

SolarWinds User Device Tracker Features
Device Tracking Made Easy
SolarWinds User Device Tracker makes tracking users and devices easy and automatic. Gone are the days of manually trying to find a user or device that has become a security threat. You can instantly find the switch name, port, port description or VLAN for the user or device by running a quick search on its username, MAC, IP or hostname. If the user or device are no longer connected, no problem! SolarWinds User Device Tracker even shows historical results, so discovering a user or device’s past location is a breeze!
Switch Monitor
The switch monitor feature in SolarWinds User Device Tracker makes it easy to keep a close eye on the status of your switches with the simple click of a mouse. Arrange your switches in a handy tree view organized by vendor, location, status and many other parameters. Then, click on a switch in the tree to instantly see every port. A green light lets you know a port is in use and hovering over a port gives easy access to port status, VLAN, number of connected devices and more.
Device Watch List
Are you on the hunt for a lost or suspicious device? A device watch list created with SolarWinds User Device Tracker helps you keep an eye on specific devices. Simply search for a device by MAC address, IP address, or Hostname and add it to a device watch list. During network scans, SolarWinds User Device Tracker will be on the lookout for the little troublemaker and will alert you the next time it is seen on the network.
Switch Port Monitoring
Where are your devices, and how are they performing? Using the switch port monitoring feature in SolarWinds User Device Tracker, you can quickly identify equipment that is working at or near maximum capacity. You can display switches by ports used, CPU load, memory used and more to make switch port monitoring painless and load balancing a snap. Need switch port monitoring for satellite offices? Not a problem. The switch location doesn’t make a difference—everything is administered from a single pane of glass.
Network Discovery
Maintaining a real-time list of switches and network devices is no small task when you are managing a dynamically-changing network. It’s hard to keep track of the rapidly multiplying numbers of network devices. That’s why we designed the network discovery features in SolarWinds User Device Tracker to automatically discover new devices that are added on your network. SolarWinds UDT initiates automated network scans that produce comprehensive network switch/port lists saving time by eliminating manual database entries.
Port Tracking
Port tracking features in SolarWinds User Device Tracker allows you to see port details and attached device history with a simple click! Details include the port name, number, VLAN and duplex along with a complete history of devices that have been attached to the port. Want to see if other devices have been plugged into this port or how long the current device has been there? With the port tracking features in UDT, you get all of this information and more!
LUCID Interface
Most software vendors claim their software is easy to use. But at SolarWinds, we are taking “easy-to-use” to a whole new level with our LUCIDTM Interface. Based on feedback from thousands of engineers just like you, we have identified and implemented five critical interface attributes that simplify network troubleshooting and created a web interface that is Logical, Usable, Customizable, Interactive and Drill-down. The LUCID interface allows you to manage by exception, customize and view data in graphs, tables, maps and “top-ten” lists as well as receive instant notification when devices are added to or removed from the network.
