# What is the network map in NetSenX?

It is a live inventory of the devices NetSenX sees on your monitored segments, with who talks to whom, and it is included on every plan, Free included. For each device it shows the name it announces on the network, its address, when it was first and last seen, and its connections to other devices and to outside destinations. Cloud and hosting destinations go into a review queue, so you can decide whether a server talking to a freshly rented cloud machine is expected. The map is built passively from traffic: NetSenX never scans or probes devices, which is safe for printers, cameras and industrial equipment. The flip side is that a device that never sends traffic, or sits on a segment you do not mirror, does not appear. Many customers use the map in the first week to find forgotten servers, unknown devices and equipment that should not be there.
