| Category | Network |
| Discovers | One child launchpoint per network (site) the Access Key can see, including offline networks and networks with no devices |
Description
Connects to one Cisco Business Dashboard instance over its REST API (v2) and collects its organizations, networks (sites), and device groups. Each network becomes a child launchpoint that collects the devices on that network: identity, firmware version and latest available firmware, online state, end-of-life (EOX) bulletin dates, and warranty and support coverage dates.
Asset Mapping: No asset-inventory mappings ship with this inspector.
