Official tool? Oh, you mean some UPNP thingy that spews all over the network in an attempt to protect the end-users from having to think? Some people are allergic to that, y'know. I'm sorta middle of the road myself, it sure is handy sometimes, but I'm not the biggest fan. See https://nordvpn.com/blog/what-is-upnp/ for the tale of a non-fan.
Of course, there are other tools out there:
IPAM - properly record the layout of your network and all IP addresses in the first place
Wiki - generally document everything
network scanner (nmap or other) - for finding the devices that have snuck onto your network without being documented or those that have gone rogue
As for Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE), though it is very popular in the self-hosted world, given the dual-licensing and the usability on a insanely wide range of hardware, Proxmox positions it as an enterprise product, and us enterprise network folks aren't much for UPNP.
