# Auvik Devices Devices are the unit of inventory in Auvik. Every discovered piece of network gear or endpoint - whether actively monitored or just seen on a discovery scan - has a device record. This skill covers the device type taxonomy, the manage-status model, lifecycle fields, and which tool to call for which question. ## Anti-triggers - **Changing the device, not just reading it** — Auvik is a monitoring and documentation layer and never pushes configuration. On Meraki hardware use `meraki-devices`; for MX firewall or VPN changes, `meraki-security-appliance`. - **A per-site sweep of everything with an IP** — Auvik indexes infrastructure it can poll. The collector that fingerprints every host on a local subnet, including phones and IoT gear, is `domotz-devices`. - **Hunting unknown assets as a security exercise** — Auvik's `unmanaged` means "discovered but not polled", not "unaccounted for". Attack-surface and rogue-asset discovery is `runzero`. - **Whether a device is alerting right now** — the device record carries status, not the alert queue; use `auvik-alerts`. ## Tools | Tool | Use For | |------|---------| | `auvik_devices_list` | Bulk listing (v1 record - light) | | `auvik_devices_get` | Single device, v1 fields | | `auvik_devices_get_details` | Extended attributes (interfaces, IPs, SNMP) | | `auvik_devices_get_lifecycle` | End-of-sale, end-of-support dates | | `auvik_devices_get_warranty` | Warranty start / end / status | ## Device Types A...
