Groups

The Manage tab opens to the Groups tab by default. A group is a built‐in or user‐defined collection of one or
more CIs. ADM provides with the ability to create groups so that you can easily view, analyze, and track the
specific subset of data. Group creation allows you to classify CIs into logical sets or collections so that actions
such as creating reports, policies, or viewing the inventory is applied to specific groups, instead of the entire
database of CIs.
The VMware vCenter Application Discovery Manager Online Help provides step‐by‐step instructions on how to
perform these actions.
I Only admin users can create groups from Manage > Groups. Chapter

Discovery

Discovery is a continuous process that creates and maintains a detailed model of your application
environment. ADM discovers CIs.
In ADM, there are three types of discovery: Passive Discovery, IP Discovery, and Detail Discovery.
The VMware vCenter Application Discovery Manager Online Help provides step‐by‐step instructions on how to
perform discovery.
N Chapter 5 provides more information on discovery.
