Quick Start 21

Scheduling Discovery

When you first discover devices, you typically use a Discovery Profile that includes the discovery

parameters (IP addresses, authentication used, and so on). You can keep your inventory up-to-date and

discover equipment over a range of addresses by scheduling a repeated discovery. To do this, after you

create the Discovery Profile in

Discovery Profiles,

open the

Schedules

screen (accessible through

File

-> Open -> System Services -> Schedules

or under the

System Services

node in the navigation

window), click

New

and select

Device Discovery

. Select the profile, and configure the schedule in the

Schedule Info

panel.

Figure 1:7. Schedule Info

You cannot schedule discovery using the

Default

profile. See the

User Guide

for more about what you

can automate.

Link Discovery

Either as part of discovery, or after you discover devices, you can discover links between devices. To

do this during discovery, select the appropriate type of Link Discovery in the

Options

screen. (See

Discovering Resources

for a description of the discovery process.)
