Deployment

Saner’s Deployment section contains features that allow you to discover devices on your network and import devices using a JSON/CSV file or from an Active Directory environment.

At the same time, the Deployment section provides Saner Agent installers for different operating systems platforms. It provides an  Offline Deployer tool that can be used to deploy Saner Agents on devices.

Also, the Deployment section has Saner Network Scanner – that helps you to identify vulnerabilities and misconfigurations across all IP-enabled devices in your network.

Device Discovery

The Device Discovery Scanner helps identify devices that exist within your network. By specifying a single IP address or a range of IP addresses, the scanner searches the network to detect available devices. Once the scan is complete, all discovered devices are displayed on the Device Discovery page, providing visibility into the devices present in your network.

Additionally, you can configure the periodic discovery scan to run Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.

By gaining visibility into the discovered hosts, along with their operating systems, administrators can take further actions such as scanning, deployment, or inventory management.

Before You Begin

  • Understand that Device Discovery depends on configured scanners and network accessibility.
  • Make sure you have an active Saner Network Scanner in your account to utilize the device discovery feature. For instructions on how to designate a device as a network scanner, refer to the Saner Network Scanner Userguide.
  • Make sure to setup the credentials and scanner configurations correctly for accurate discovery results.
  • Note that the system allows only those user roles(Admin/Super Admin/Organization Manager/Account Manager)  having appropriate permissions to initiate discovery or perform actions on devices

Get Started

Access Device discovery by following the listed steps:

Step1: Log in to Saner platform with administrative privileges.

Step2: Navigate to Control Panel.

Step3: From the left-hand-side navigation pane, choose the organization and account in which you want to set up the device discovery.

Step4: Specify the tool as CVEM by choosing from the drop-down menu.

Step5: Under the Discovery menu, select Device Discovery.

The Discovered Devices page opens displaying a tabular list of all devices identified through discovery scans.

What Do the Columns on Discovered Devices Page Mean?

ColumnDescription
HostnameThe hostname of the discovered device. If unavailable, the IP address may be shown.
IP AddressThe network IP address of the discovered host.
Operating SystemThe operating system detected on the device (for example, Ubuntu, Windows, and macOS).
PortsProvides port-related details for the device. Clicking the icon displays open or discovered ports.

Initiate an On-Demand Discovery Scan Based on Configured Settings

From the Discovered Devices page, click the Discovery Now button. The Discovery Now window opens and allows administrators to manually initiate an on-demand device discovery by selecting a scanner, defining target IP ranges, and optionally providing authentication credentials.

Select Scanner to Perform Discovery

The scanner name and its IP address display in the drop-down for easy identification.  Choose the appropriate scanner from the drop-down menu. Note that only active and configured scanners display in the drop-down for selection.

Configure Targets

Use the Targets section to define the devices or IP ranges for discovery. To add a Target, click + Add Target button to include multiple IPs or ranges.

Provide IP

  • Enter a single IP (for example, 172.16.11.72)
  • A range (for example, 172.16.11.72-75) or
  • CIDR notation, if supported by your configuration

Specify Authentication Options

Authenticated discovery retrieves accurate operating system details, hostname, and additional system information. Select one of the following options from the drop-down menu:

  • No: This option performs unauthenticated discovery to identify host availability and basic information.
  • Yes: This option helps find the accurate hostname, OS name and ports with authentication.

Authentication Details (When Enabled)

If Authentication = Yes, additional fields display:

  • Credential Type: Select Custom to manually enter credentials. Select Save to retain the already created credentials.
  • Auth Type: Choose the authentication protocol (for example, SMB, SSH, or others based on OS).
  • Username: Enter a valid account with required privileges on the target device.
  • Password: Enter the corresponding password. Use the eye icon to view or hide the password.

[Optional]Exclude IPs

Use the Exclude IPs field to omit specific IPs or ranges from discovery. Supported formats include:

  • Single IP (for example, 192.168.1.1)
  • CIDR (for example, 192.168.1.1/32)
  • IP range (for example, 192.168.1.1-10)

Increase Operating System Name Discovery Accuracy Using Enhanced Name Lookup

By selecting the Enhanced name lookup checkbox, you have the ability to increase the Operating System name discovery accuracy but with a slightly extended scan time.

Start the Discovery Process

On completing the Targets configuration, go ahead and click the Discover button to initiate the discovery scan process.

[Optional]If you want to close the window without initiating discovery, click the Stop Scan button.

The scan initiation message appears as shown:

On completion of scan, the Discovered Devices page displays a tabular list of one or more devices identified through discovery scans.

Verify Operating System Detection

After setting up the enhanced name lookup for the target configuration and starting the discovery process, the discovery scan retrieves accurate operating system information and displays in the discovered devices list.

Locate Specific Devices Using Filters and Search Options

To quickly locate specific devices, use the filters in the Discovered Devices page. You can also control the number of entries displayed per page using the drop-down next to the search bar.

Filter ByUse to…
OSRetrieve devices based on operating system
FamilyRetrieve results by OS family (for example, Linux, Windows)
ScannersBy selecting one or more scanners from the Scanners drop-down menu, the table updates dynamically to display only the devices discovered by the chosen scanner(s). For each listed device, the corresponding IP address(es) identified during the scan displays in the table.   This filter allows you to isolate and review devices discovered by a specific scanner, making it easier to validate scan coverage, troubleshoot discovery results, and analyze findings specific to each scanner. You can select multiple scanners to view a combined list of devices discovered by all of them, or you can clear your selection to see devices discovered by all scanners.
IP StatusRetrieve results based on device availability or discovery status
Search DevicesSearch using hostname or IP address

Perform Bulk or Contextual Actions on Selected Devices

Execute bulk or contextual actions on selected devices using the “Actions” menu. Available options may vary based on configuration and permissions.
