NetAlertX is a self-hosted network visibility and asset intelligence platform that performs continuous device discovery and monitoring across distributed networks, VLANs, and remote sites. It provides a web interface for tracking connected devices, detecting changes like shadow IT or unauthorized hardware, and automating workflows with reporting, webhooks, and multi-site sync.

Use cases

  • monitor devices connected to my home network
  • get alerted when a new device joins my wifi
  • track network assets across multiple sites
  • detect unauthorized devices on my network
  • manage IP address inventory (IPAM) for a small business
  • set up network monitoring for a homelab
  • discover shadow IT and unknown hardware on VLANs

When to choose

  • you want a lightweight, self-hosted alternative to a full NMS or SIEM for device visibility
  • you run a homelab, MSP, or distributed environment needing centralized asset discovery
  • you need webhook and Home Assistant integrations for network change alerts

When to avoid

  • you need enterprise-grade network management with deep protocol analysis or SNMP polling at scale
  • you require SIEM-level log aggregation and compliance auditing features
  • you cannot run Docker or a persistent host network namespace
