Discover and understand the state of your inventory through diagramming and mapping in your site. Diagrams reveal the relationships between your assets using dynamically generated layouts, supporting dependency mapping and inventory management.
Diagrams are a visual representation of the inventory synced to your site. They are automatically generated based on how your installations and IP locations are configured in your inventory. Information is then organized into either network topologies or virtual environments, depending on your setup.
Understanding the relationships between your IT assets helps you:
- Identify underutilized or orphan assets to improve resource allocation
- Strengthen business continuity planning
- Improve incident, change, and security management
- Increase cost efficiency and support long-term strategic planning
For diagrams to work correctly, your installations must be synced with your site, and your inventory must be correctly configured, including proper setup of IP locations.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Why do diagrams matter?
IT environments are becoming increasingly complex, making it challenging to understand the scope and configuration of an organization’s IT systems.
Key challenges include:
- Networks consisting of interconnected systems, applications, and hardware

- Having a list of IT assets alone is not enough to maintain full control of your IT estate
What is the value of network mapping?
Network mapping goes beyond identifying IT assets to uncover their locations, connections, and interactions.
With network diagrams, you can:
- Gain a complete picture of your IT environment
- Improve communication and efficiency within IT teams
