# Scanopy

> Infrastructure documentation software. Deploy a scanner, get four views of your infrastructure: network architecture, service dependencies, workload placement, and physical topology. Kept accurate automatically.

## What is Scanopy?

Scanopy is an infrastructure documentation platform that automatically scans networks and generates four topology views. It discovers hosts, services, subnets, switches, and workloads, then creates visual documentation that stays up to date without manual intervention.

## Key Features

- **Automatic Discovery**: Scans any network and discovers every host, service, subnet, and workload automatically
- **Four Topology Views**: Network architecture, service dependencies, workload placement, and physical topology
- **Service Detection**: Auto-detects 235+ services across categories: Monitoring (33), Media (25), Development (19), IoT (15), Database (13), Storage (11), NetworkAccess (11), IdentityAndAccess (10)
- **Versioning**: Create branches, lock versions, and compare network state over time
- **Security Visibility**: See which services are exposed and flag misconfigurations
- **Sharing**: Export diagrams, send live view links, or create embeds

Scanopy automatically identifies 235+ services including: Wizarr, Sonarr, Radarr, qBittorrent, Prowlarr, Pocket ID, PeaNUT, Paperless-NGX, Open WebUI, Ollama, NUT, Netbootxyz, Memos, Mealie, MeTube, Lubelogger, Lidarr, Karakeep, Jotty, Huntarr, and many more.

## Blog

- **Automated Network Documentation Explained**: Automated network documentation uses protocols like SNMP, LLDP, and ARP to discover devices, map connections, and keep records current without manual effort. It replaces spreadsheets and stale Visio files with live, always-accurate diagrams.

- **Why Your Network Diagrams Are Always Wrong**: Network diagrams go stale because maintaining them manually doesn't scale. The fix isn't updating more often - it's using automated discovery tools that keep diagrams current without human intervention.

- **Network Documentation Template (Free) + Why Templates Fail**: A network documentation template covering device inventory, IP addressing, VLANs, and connections. Templates are a reasonable starting point, but they decay fast - automated discovery keeps documentation accurate without the upkeep.

- **What Happens When Your Network Person Leaves**: Most network documentation depends on one person's memory and habits. When they leave, the knowledge leaves too. The fix isn't documenting more. It's automating documentation so it survives personnel changes.

## Comparisons

- **Best Automated Network Diagram Tools (2026)**: The best automated network diagram tool for most IT teams is one that combines real auto-discovery with exportable, shareable diagrams — not a monitoring dashboard with a map tab bolted on. Most tools marketed as 'automated' fall into two traps: they're monitoring platforms that include mapping as a feature, or manual tools with zero discovery. Here's what each of the 12 tools actually does, what it costs, and which one fits your network.
