I just got the weekly report for Spiceworks and noticed that it didn’t detect any new Alerts (Monitor or System), new devices or new applications installed on my network for the entire week. I wish I was that in control of my network. Can you provide me with some ideas on how to rectify and fix this.

Disable incremental scanning and set scan speed to slow.

bytesnake - If new devices are not picking up then there is more than just incremental scanning and scan speed. (but this is a good start for new application installations)

Scadd_Man -Can you ping those devices form your SW server?

When you say they are not picked up - the don’t show up at all or they show up with errors? are you sure they are included in at least one scan range?

Anything changed during last week?

Well actually here’s the interesting thing I actually did the opposite of what bytesnake recommended as I already had the incremental disabled. I actually enabled the incremental scan and put the scan speed at fast. It seems to have picked up a couple of devices that I was looking for that weren’t showing up before so I’ll let the scan finish out and let you know what I find. Thanks for the suggestion.

In this case it seems the scan hung (spiceworks-finder.exe), could you check the logs?

Maybe splitting a large scan range into more smaller ranges (every scan range with it`s own scheduler) helps for future.

Hiya

Did you manage to get this sorted?

If so could you mark best answer and any helpful posts?

Also Spiceworks 4.6 is out make sure you update :slight_smile:

Thanks
