Auvik supports the sending of alert notifications and inventory to ConnectWise Manage Cloud and ConnectWise Manage On Premise. Both can be managed from your MSP dashboard for all clients.
To ensure your Auvik - ConnectWise Manage integration works correctly, use the resources below in the order they’re shown. As well, the ConnectWise Manage service boards you’ll use with the integration must be fully configured and active. If a service board or its status are inactive, Auvik alerts won’t create or update tickets in ConnectWise Manage.
Also make sure that companies have been created in ConnectWise Manage, and where appropriate, that sites have been added to the companies and are active. If the company hasn’t been created in ConnectWise Manage, it won’t be available for mapping to Auvik clients.

Although Auvik supports both ConnectWise Manage Cloud and On Premise, when you create a new ConnectWise Manage integration in Auvik, there’s no option to specify which one you’re using. But don’t worry—this isn’t necessary. Some self-hosted instances of ConnectWise Manage can, however, be blocked behind a firewall and can’t be accessed without a VPN connection. If your self-hosted instance doesn’t require a VPN connection, you can proceed with setting up your Auvik / ConnectWise Manage integration. No further configuration is needed. If your self-hosted instance is hidden behind a firewall and preventing TCP requests, you’ll need to allow TCP requests from Auvik’s network address translation (NAT) gateway. |
