Scheduled Discovers; Deleting A Discover Script - Enterasys Netsight User Manual

Discovering Nodes
Re-starting a completed discover script from the Network Discover window has the same
effect as re-executing the script from the Discover Manager window.

Scheduled Discovers

A scheduled discover script — one which launches automatically at selected intervals —
behaves a little differently than a manually-executed script. Once a scheduled discover is
complete, the Network Discover window will close automatically; you need not close it
manually, as with a normally-executed script. (In fact, the Network Discover window for a
scheduled discover is minimized by default, so it is only visible if you choose to view it.)
If you have left a manually-executed discover window open, a scheduled discover will
close this window for you so that it can execute. And if a manually-executed script is still
in progress when a scheduled discover interval expires, the scheduled discover will wait
the length of the interval before it attempts to launch again.
You can also schedule discover sessions at specific dates and/or times via the Scheduler
application; see the Tools Guide for more information.
