Publisher's description

FireScope Workbench is a collection of free tools designed to make life easier for IT professionals. This version currently includes a Service Modeler with dependency discovery and MIB walker and MIB importer, with additional plugins under development. FireScope Workbench is built using Java's Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT), and is capable of periodically checking for updates and deliver single-click installation of new features as they are published.
The MIB (Management Information Base) Walker and Browser Tool collects information about your SNMP-enabled networked devices by walking the SNMP tree for a target device and polling the current value of every OID (Object IDentifier) the device supports. Third-party MIB's can be imported using the MIB Importer plugin with point and click ease.
Recently added Ping Sweep utilities can scan large IP ranges in seconds, with DNS lookup of responding hosts, and is exportable to CSV or XML files.
Once you've walked an SNMP device, you can create real-time graphs of the value of any OID or you can export the walk to an XML file. This file can then be uploaded to FireScope BSM to be added as a managed asset.
The Service Modeler component in FireScope Workbench enables you model your IT Services in an easy to use interface that includes discovery capabilities to do all the legwork for you. Simply create your Service Group containers and scan your network to begin mapping your IT Services and their dependent networked assets.
Once you’ve built your service model, an export to XML function provides a standards-compliant format for importing into Visio or any other network visualization tool, or into any monitoring and management solution that supports XML import.
In addition to using FireScope Workbench as an independent application, it can connect with the FireScope Business Service Management (BSM) or FireScope Configuration Management (CMDB) solution to simplify configuration for rapid time to value.
