What is ConnectNow?

Using the ConnectNow tool, Network Atlas can automatically draw lines between map objects that are directly connected on your network, as shown in the following procedure.

Notes:

The ConnectNow tool cannot create indirect connections. For example, if the map objects A and C are connected indirectly through device B, you must manually add device B to the map to create the connections.
Because topological data about your network is only generated during Network Sonar Discovery, ConnectNow can only draw lines between discovered nodes. Nodes that are added manually, as in Web Node Management, cannot be connected using ConnectNow.

To automatically connect objects using ConnectNow:

Add appropriate objects to an open network map.
Note: For more information about adding objects to a network map, see "Adding Map Objects" in the SolarWinds Orion Network Atlas Administrator Guide.
