Opsview 6.8.x End of Support
With the release of Opsview 6.11.0 on February 2025, versions 6.8.x have reached their End of Support (EOS) status, according to our Support policy. This means that versions 6.8.x will no longer receive code fixes or security updates.
The documentation for version 6.8.9 and earlier versions will remain accessible for the time being, but it will no longer be updated or receive backports. We strongly recommend upgrading to the latest version of Opsview to ensure continued support and access to the latest features and security enhancements.
Autodiscovery
Autodiscovery allows you to automatically discover and profile Hosts in your environment to quickly populate information into Opsview for monitoring. This feature is accessible from the Configuration > Autodiscovery menu.
You need to have CONFIGUREHOSTS permission defined in your Roles to access the Autodiscovery application.
The initial window below is the Scan Management window; this is where scans are configured, viewed and deleted:
There are three stages to Autodiscovery:
- Creating - configure scan settings to indicate to Opsview Monitor what to scan and how to pre-set how the discovered hosts should be monitored
- Running - launch the scan to locate hosts and check for services
- Validating and Importing - fine-tune the discovered host configuration in the Sandbox view and start actively monitoring the discovered hosts
Autodiscovery provides with three types of scans:
- Network Scan
- VMware Scan
- Windows Scan
It also provides with the ability schedule scan to automatically run at set times and intervals, so you can see if there have been any changes to your environment.
