lists activities to perform after discovery. Use the Select Activity field along with the command
(...) and search buttons to its right to find activities. Selecting here lets you select from those
listed by default, and from those that appear in the Activities Manager. Click Add to list a
selected activity below, checked as Selected. Some activities appear automatically (from the
default discovery profile). Check those you want to activate.
The Edit button lets you configure the selected Activity's parameters, if that is available and
appropriate. The editor also appears if you Add a task with configurable parameters. If you select
an activity that requires user input, the standard attribute selection screen(s) for that activity
appear during Discovery. Fill in the required attributes, and Discovery continues.
Remove deletes the selected activity from the list.
NOTE:
You can add a task to add discovered devices to OpenManage Network Manager's
heartbeat. You can configure what appears by default as described in the User
Guide.
You can also use the up/down/top/bottom arrows to reorder selected rows, reordering what
activities discovery executes. Regardless of the row order, however, device-based tasks run first,
and group-based tasks (like link discovery) run last, since groups depend on their member
information. See the User Guide for more about available activities.
Clicking Reorder moves the activities with Select checked to the top of the list.
After you have configured this tab, you can click the Inspect button or click the Discover button.

NOTE:
Inspection simplifies some manual steps that you can still do yourself. You can
manually telnet to a device to verify that you have the correct authentication
information. You can also examine the device's config file and verify that the SNMP
community string is correct.
You can filter the results that appear listed in this screen by entering the text to search for in
Filter Results at its top. You can also Select or Deselect Device(s), and Change Authentication
with the icons to the right of the filter. You can also use the Discover column's checkbox to
select items to discover.
The columns in this screen display the IP Address, Hostname, and Vendor of inspected devices.
