Device Manager
Discover, Inventory, and Control Your Network with Precision and Scale
Intelligent, Scalable Network Discovery and Inventory Management
Rapid, code-free discovery of network devices across large-scale, complex environments.
Build a centralized, high-fidelity inventory to serve a “Source of Truth (SoT)” for your network and integrate with other 3rd party sources like NetBox and ServiceNow.
Automate the backup and recovery of device configurations at scale.
Strengthen network security and ensure compliance with vulnerability insights and lifecycle data.
Device Manager is a pre-built application in the Gluware app suite that provides network and device discovery as well as other powerful features to manage complex multi-vendor networks.
Gluware® Device Manager is an intelligent, code-free solution that enables large enterprises to rapidly discover, inventory, and manage network devices across even the most complex environments. With built-in automation and deep visibility, it delivers the high-resolution data you need to power scalable, secure network operations without the need for manual scripting or disparate tools for multi-vendor networks.
Key Capabilities
- Consolidate management of multi-vendor and multi-platform devices
- Industry-leading network discovery and device discovery
- Configuration backup and restore
- Security and lifecycle management with Cisco Support API and NIST integration
- Onboarded devices are available using the Gluware intelligent application suite for automated and orchestrated lifecycle management
Feature Highlights
Automated Network Discovery
Quickly onboard your entire network using flexible discovery methods:
- Execute real-time, scheduled, or automated discovery, including integration with Network RPA workflows.
- Choose from subnet scanning or neighbor crawling via ARP, LLDP, and CDP.
- Extend discovery dynamically across Layer 2 and Layer 3 topologies. This data feeds the Gluware Topology application.
- Enhance network security by identifying rogue or unknown devices.
High-Fidelity Inventory & Single Source of Truth
Establish a trusted, centralized database for your network assets:
- Auto-discover and interrogate devices across 55+ operating systems using built-in device-detect libraries and direct CLI access.
- Capture detailed attributes: OS version, hardware model, serial number, and more — within minutes.
- Search, filter, and export data to support device lifecycle planning, OS management, and audits.
- Integrate with ServiceNow® CMDB, NetBox, and other third-party systems using the published REST-based GluAPI.
Configuration Backup & Restore
Protect critical device configurations with automation:
- Perform real-time or scheduled backups across thousands of devices.
- Track and manage historical backups from a centralized view.
- Execute bulk restores to ensure rapid recovery and operational continuity.
Security, Compliance & Lifecycle Intelligence
Make informed decisions with real-time risk insights:
- Integrate with Cisco® API Console for:
- End-of-Life (EoL)/End-of-Sale(EoS)/Support bulletins
- SmartNet contract status
- PSIRT vulnerability advisories
- Leverage NIST CVE integration for multi-vendor security assessments.
- Prioritize device replacement and OS upgrades based on lifecycle and risk factors.
Enterprise-Scale Orchestration
Device Manager is powered by Gluware’s robust orchestration engine, enabling:
- Discovery and management at scale — from hundreds to thousands of devices.
- Ability to automate ad-hoc query commands and reboot devices.
- Seamless integration into automation workflows and existing toolchains.
- Unified, no-code operations that reduce risk and improve speed.
