Note: This article only applies to partners on the Liongard Complete Package.
The preview period for Network Monitoring will conclude on September 15th, 2025, at which point it will transition into a distinct service offering. This change is part of our ongoing efforts to refine our pricing and packaging structure, leading to the separation of Network Discovery and Network Monitoring functionalities.
Network Discovery will remain an integral component of the Liongard platform, now featuring automated population of the Asset Inventory. Network Monitoring, previously accessible during its preview phase, is set to be introduced as a new premium feature, available within both the LiongardIQ platform and as an add-on via NetworkIQ.
What is the difference between network discovery and network monitoring?
Network discovery - the identification of devices and services on a network. This involves scanning the network to gather information about connected devices, including their IP addresses and the services they provide.
Network monitoring - the continuous observation and analysis of an environment to ensure its optimal performance, security, and reliability. It involves collecting network traffic, detecting issues, and managing network resources to prevent downtime and maintain efficient operations.
How does that impact me?
After the preview period, network monitoring features previously included in the Liongard Complete package will be available only through LiongardIQ or the NetworkIQ add-on module. This change provides users with specialized and focused network insights.
