Discovering devices for monitoring or

management

NOTE: To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise–Tech Release, you must have necessary user privileges. See

Role-based OpenManage Enterprise–Tech Release user privileges.

By clicking OpenManage Enterprise > Monitor > Discovery, you can discover devices in your data center environment to manage

them, improve their usability, and improve resource availability for your business-critical operations. The Discovery page displays the

number of devices discovered in task and information about the status of discovery job for that device. The job statuses are Queued,

Completed, and Stopped. The right pane displays information about the task such as the total possible devices, device discovered with

Device Types and their respective count, next run time if scheduled, and last discovered time. View Details in the right pane displays

individual discovery job details.

NOTE: On the Discovery and Inventory Schedules pages, the status of a scheduled job is indicated as Queued in the

STATUS column. However, the same status is indicated as Scheduled on the Jobs page.

By using the Discovery feature, you can:

• View, add, and remove devices from the global exclusion list. See Globally excluding devices.

• Create, run, edit, delete, and stop the device discovery jobs.
