NetAlertX Features Overview
NetAlertX is a lightweight, flexible platform for monitoring networks, tracking devices, and delivering actionable alerts. It combines discovery, change detection, and multi-channel notification into a single, streamlined solution.
Network Discovery & Device Tracking
Network Discovery & Device Tracking
- Automatic Device Detection: Continuously scans your local network to detect all connected devices via ARP, DHCP, SNMP, and compatible controllers.
- Presence Monitoring: Track when devices appear, disappear, or reconnect on the network.
- IP & MAC Tracking: Log device IP changes, ensuring accurate identification over time.
- Import from Existing Systems: Integrates with DHCP servers, Pi-hole, UniFi controllers, and other supported sources to maintain an accurate inventory.
LAN Visualization
- Lightweight Network Map: View a real-time representation of your local network with all connected devices.
- Device Status Indicators: Quickly identify active, missing, or new devices at a glance.
- Interactive Overview: Hover over devices to see IP, MAC, and last seen timestamps.
- Change Highlighting: Newly detected, disconnected, or reconnected devices are visually flagged to reduce oversight.
- Simple & Efficient: Designed for quick insights without heavy resource usage or complex topology maps.
Event-Driven Alerts
- Real-Time Notifications: Receive immediate alerts for new devices, disconnected devices, or unexpected changes.
- Customizable Triggers: Define rules based on device type, IP ranges, presence, or other network parameters.
- Alert Deduplication & Suppression: Avoid unnecessary noise with smart alert handling.
- Historical Logs: Maintain a complete timeline of network events for review and reporting.
Multi-Channel Notification
- Flexible Delivery Options: Send alerts via email, webhooks, MQTT, and more.
- Integration with Automation: Connect to ticketing systems, workflow engines, and custom scripts for automated responses.
- Apprise Support: Utilize over 80 pre-built notification services without additional configuration.
Security & Compliance-Friendly Logging
- Device Accountability: Maintain an auditable record of every device that appears or disappears from the network.
- Change Tracking: Document network events with timestamps for review and compliance reporting.
- Rogue Device Alerts: Detect and respond to unexpected or unauthorized network connections.
Extensible & Open Source
- Plugin System: Extend discovery methods, ingestion types, or notification channels through modular plugins.
- Community Contributions: Open-source architecture encourages collaboration and improvements.
- Full Transparency: All logs, scans, and configurations are visible for analysis.
NetAlertX provides a centralized, proactive approach to network awareness, combining device visibility, event-driven alerting, and flexible notifications into a single, deployable solution. Its design prioritizes efficiency, clarity, and actionable insights, making it ideal for monitoring dynamic environments.
