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.)
