Good evening afternoon one!<\/p>\n
I have been using Spiceworks inventory for a while now and I have here recently decided to try out Spiceworks network monitor. I was reading the install directions and noticed you’re not supposed to install it on the same system as Spiceworks inventory. Which I did try that and it was super buggy, and wouldn’t monitor my devices anymore they all would just be blank.<\/p>\n
My first Question Could I install Spiceworks Network Monitor on the same machine as the Spiceworks inventory but put the network monitor on a VM instead<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
How many devices can you monitor with Spiceworks Network Monitor?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
My PC is running<\/p>\n
CPU AMD Athlon ll x4 640 quad core<\/p>\n
Ram 8 GB<\/p>\n
Network Connection is 1 GB for my LAN<\/p>","upvoteCount":1,"answerCount":6,"datePublished":"2017-04-04T16:25:00.000Z","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"raybishop","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/raybishop"},"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"
Neither product should really be on your day to day use machine, they are designed to be on servers that run all the time, on their own box.<\/p>\n
Yes, virtual is supported for both<\/p>","upvoteCount":1,"datePublished":"2017-04-04T16:27:15.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/spiceworks-network-monitor/571732/2","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Rod-IT","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/Rod-IT"}},"suggestedAnswer":[{"@type":"Answer","text":"

I have Spiceworks Inventory installed on a dedicated server that always stays running I meant to say server not PC. So could I install the Network monitor on a VM on that same server and it work fine?<\/p>","upvoteCount":1,"datePublished":"2017-04-04T16:58:43.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/spiceworks-network-monitor/571732/4","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"raybishop","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/raybishop"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
Yes, but I assume by same server you mean installing a type-2 hypervisor on top of the existing OS? That’s not recommended for production, but it will work<\/p>","upvoteCount":2,"datePublished":"2017-04-04T17:00:27.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/spiceworks-network-monitor/571732/5","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Rod-IT","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/Rod-IT"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
