No. There are tools to detect hosts and write updated config files out 
there.

But someone installed equipment in your network and it must have passed a 
couple of checks before you installed it. Right? Then what is the problem 
of adding it to your config as part of these checks?

If someone installed something in your network without your knowledge then 
why do you need to monitor it?

The only automatic tool I would use is one that triggers an alert if a new 
device was added to the network. So you can go on a search and destroy 
mission.
