The network discovery tool that gives you complete visibility
Your network is complex. It can be tricky to track every device, connection and password. That’s where Network Glue, Kaseya’s network discovery tool, comes in. It runs in the background to automatically detect devices, map your network and strengthen credentials so you always know where the risks are and how to fix them.
Total clarity and control over your entire IT network
Network Glue gives you the visibility you need to optimize performance, boost resilience and make data-driven decisions that keep your network secure and efficient.
Automatically map your network
Make documenting your network less manual and error-prone. Instantly detect every device, user and connection to create a real-time view of your IT environment.
“With Network Glue, we can see how every device is connected to one another and instantly know the state of the network.” Janelle Dunlop, Documentation Specialist, Netsmart
Resolve issues faster
Instantly access accurate live network details and visual maps that show device relationships, connections and port data, so your team can immediately find and fix any issues.
“We used to spend 160 hours a year manually rotating passwords one by one. Now it’s entirely automated." Chris Swecker, Director of Managed Services, Appalachia Technologies
Keep your network secure and compliant
Protect your network by keeping credentials, user access and device data secure and easy to find. Automating tasks like password rotation, Microsoft user documentation and recovery key management makes reducing risk second nature.
“Before Network Glue, network documentation was a multi-hour manual process that’s now automated. When our on-site technicians make a change, they no longer have to remember to update the documentation, and our help desk automatically sees these changes.” Matt Lackie, FRC Manager, CBE IT Solutions
Network documentation that's 100% automated
Comprehensive network discovery
Automatically detect every device in real time, whether it's managed, unmanaged, virtual or hybrid. You’ll be able to identify and document assets instantly with a lightweight and reliable collector that is always on.
Contextual device information
Rest assured that every detail of your network is accurate, including device type, domain role, IP address, OS, physical location and more. Then consolidate the data with your broader IT documentation for a single source of truth.
Detailed network mapping
Generate visual, auto-updated diagrams that map your network structure in real-time. Get a clear view of your network architecture, including device connections and port mappings, to identify dependences and simplify management.
Seamless password rotation
Keep credentials secure and up to date with automated password rotation across Microsoft 365, Active Directory and Entra ID. Set up rotations to run on demand or on a schedule and apply custom rules and bulk updates without adding complexity to your workflow.
Synchronized documentation
Auto-sync Microsoft 365, Active Directory and Entra ID user and group data to keep your contact database current and complete. You’ll easily see everyone’s access permissions, group memberships and password statuses, which simplifies audits and user management.
BitLocker recovery keys
Capture, document and link BitLocker recovery keys directly to their corresponding devices. You can access this data 24/7 for faster troubleshooting and seamless system restoration, while your data stays secure and organized.

Network discovery is the process of identifying all devices and endpoints within an IT environment. It involves scanning the network to detect connected assets and mapping how they interact to create a clear picture of the network’s structure.
Network discovery is used to maintain visibility and control over an organization’s IT infrastructure. By revealing every connected device and its relationships, it helps IT teams to better manage performance, troubleshoot issues and plan for growth. It’s also essential for maintaining accurate documentation, supporting compliance initiatives and optimizing resource allocation across the network.
A network discovery tool is software that automates the process of identifying, documenting and mapping devices within a network. These tools provide continuous visibility by detecting both managed and unmanaged assets, detailing contextual device information, tracking changes in real time and generating visual network maps.
Network Glue also integrates with other systems to centralize all network and IT documentation, enhance security through automated password rotation and simplify compliance reporting.
Network discovery tools work by using protocols such as ICMP, SNMP and ARP to detect active devices, gather technical details like IP addresses, operating systems and hostnames, and map connection paths between them.
The collected data is then processed into interactive network maps or structured documentation, giving IT teams a clear, up-to-date view of their infrastructure. Many tools also perform continuous or scheduled scans, ensuring network records stay accurate as devices change or new assets are added.
Network discovery typically includes any device or endpoint that connects to your IT environment. This can range from physical hardware such as laptops, servers, routers, switches and printers to virtual machines, cloud resources and IoT devices. By identifying every connected asset, network discovery ensures that no device, whether on-premises, virtual or hybrid, goes unnoticed or undocumented.
