The Cloudamize Network Scanner is a wrapper for the open source tool “nmap”. Our wrapper will run the tool, process the data, and send it back to the Cloudamize data collection servers. The tool must be downloaded prior to use: https://nmap.org/ and is not packaged with the Cloudamize Network Scanner wrapper. Please refer to nmap documentation for any queries regarding its usage.
The Cloudamize Network Scanner works with any of our supported Cloud Service Providers.
Usage
The data collected by the Network Scanner can be used in the following ways:
To identify Windows and Linux servers that are not included in the Cloudamize assessment, and check off in real-time which servers are connected to Cloudamize using the Network Discovery tab (see below).
To identify NAS and SAN devices. NetApp devices can also be identified so they can potentially be added to an Agentless Data Collector to gather data.
To identify other servers (Unix systems, mainframes, etc.) which will be identifiable in the Migration Planner to assist with potential refactoring.
Requirements
The nmap tool is run from a Linux server. Its documentation can be found here.

“Included in Assessment” column identifies any servers that are connected to the portal by a Cloudamize data collector - Agent, Agentless, Hypervisor or vCenter connection are all valid connections. Using this, you can identify servers that aren’t currently included in the assessment and quickly be able to add them if desired, for example by adding their IP address to an existing Agentless Data Collector.
Support
The Network Scanner wrapper is provided as-is. Cloudamize can offer assistance configuring the command line for the tool, but cannot offer support for the nmap tool itself.
