A built-in scheduler that securely connects to your switches, retrieves their configurations, and feeds them directly into Network Discovery Generator. Set it once — your topology stays current.
Define an org, load a CSV with your switch IPs organized by campus. Edit inline or import from file.
Create credential profiles, assign them per-site or per-device. Set a capture interval and time window.
Captured configs are stored locally in a structured format. Network Discovery Generator reads them directly — no export, no conversion.
Your configs shouldn't just sit in a backup folder. Global Capture organizes them so Network Discovery Generator can turn them into something you can actually see and use.
Multiple orgs, each with their own device CSV, output folder, and credential vault. Switch between clients or sites without reconfiguring anything. Built-in CSV editor with paste-from-Excel support.
Create multiple credential profiles with Local or AAA types. Assign at the site level, override per-device where needed. Resolution flows device → site automatically at connect time.
Credentials are encrypted at rest and protected by a PIN that is never stored. Failed attempts trigger a timed lockout that persists across restarts. Idle lock automatically secures the app when you step away.
Trust On First Use — keys are verified on first connection and checked on every connection after. If a key changes unexpectedly, the connection is rejected. Bulk verification available before captures begin.
Selective hashing on configurable commands — not the entire output. Uptime counters and statistics won't trigger false changes. History only grows when something actually changed on the device.
Configurable intervals, time windows, active weekdays. Concurrent campus mode with worker pools. If a capture is interrupted — crash, power loss — resume where you left off on restart.
Tracks capture history and projects when your drive fills up. Scenario calculator lets you plug in different storage sizes to plan ahead before deploying to a client site.
Live timeline of every worker thread — color-coded by state. Per-device status shows current IP, command, progress, and byte count. Warning markers flag blocked threads in real time.
Captures the config data Network Discovery Generator needs to build your topology, plus inventory, environment, and routing context. Fully customizable — add or remove commands to match your workflow.
Global Capture is built into Network Discovery Generator. Load your devices, set a schedule, and your network topology always reflects the latest configuration state.
