Gone are the days of managing IP address space using outdated spreadsheets. Mutiny’s integrated IP Address Management (Active IPAM™) module provides an active, continuously updated view of your address space and how it relates to the devices and services you monitor.
Active IPAM™ is tightly integrated with the Mutiny monitoring platform, allowing discovered addresses, devices and interfaces to be quickly promoted into active monitoring with a single click.
