Statseeker Version 25.2

Release Date: July 10th, 2025


Major Feature

Discovery Schedules

Statseeker now offers the ability to schedule Discovery (SNMP or Ping-Only) and Rewalk processes, with the scheduled process allowing the same degree of customization as a regular Discovery. Saved schedules can be managed from Administration Tool > Discovery My Network.

For more information, see Scheduling Discovery and Rewalk Processes.



Major Feature

Device Management

The new Manage Devices page can be used to review and update the configuration data for elements within your monitored network. It provides options to:

  • View and update configuration data for the devices and interfaces monitored by Statseeker
  • Enable / Disable various polling states and assign pollers
  • Retire and delete devices
  • Enable, disable, and delete SNMP Entity Configurations

For more information see Manage Devices.
