How it works
Up and running in minutes
Netwatch is three components — a server, an agent and a dashboard. Each one is simple to set up.
01

Run the server on your always-on PC

Download and run NetwatchServer.exe on any PC that stays on. This is the hub that receives reports from all your agents and serves data to the dashboard. No installation required — just double-click.

02

Deploy an agent at each location

Run NetwatchAgent.exe as Administrator on any PC at the location you want to monitor. A setup wizard walks through the configuration on first run. The agent scans the local network and reports device data back to your server every 30 seconds.

03

Open the dashboard from anywhere

Open app.coreoutpost.com in any browser, enter your server URL and you're connected. Install the desktop app for a native experience. Add your locations and watch devices populate in real time.

04

Optional: set up remote access

For remote monitoring across locations, set up a free Cloudflare Tunnel pointing to your server. Agents at any location can then report over the internet securely — no port forwarding or VPN required.
