Discovery Design

Guided discovery is a core OrbitalWard workflow.

Add target
Choose target type
Enter address and credentials
Test connection
Discover available items
Show friendly list of discovered items
User selects what to monitor
User selects what should alert
Create monitors and optional alert rules

Monitor vs Alert Separation

OrbitalWard must allow monitoring without alerting. Every discovered item should eventually support separate choices:

  • Collect metric
  • Graph metric
  • Show on dashboard
  • Alert on condition

This prevents every monitor from automatically becoming an alert source.

Friendly SNMP

The normal UI must not show raw OIDs. SNMP profiles should translate implementation details into friendly labels such as interface names, traffic counters, status, errors, uptime, CPU, and memory.
