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 AUTODISCOVERY 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 three types of scans:

• Network Scan
• VMware Scan
• Windows Scan

It also provides the ability to schedule scans that automatically run at set times and intervals. This allows you to see if there have been any changes to your environment.
