Inspection
8 Inspect Network using your current settings —This screen lets you preview the discovery
profile’s actions and access to devices. If you clicked
Next rather than Inspect at the bottom of
the previous screen, click
Start Inspection to begin the inspection process for selected
authentications that validates the device’s credentials.
Notice that the
Inspection Status fields below listed authentications indicates the success or
failure of ping (if not disabled), Hostname resolution, and the listed Authentications.
If the device does not match all required authentications, you can click the
Fix it icon (a
wrench with a red or yellow dot) to edit them for the selected device. You can also click
Te s t
Device
, Create New, or Choose Existing authentications while in the editor clicking the Fix it
icon displays the authentication selection panel. The yellow dot on the
Fix it icon means an
optional authentication is missing. A red dot means a required one is missing.
When authentications are unsuccessful, you can remove or edit them in this editor too. Click
the icons to the right of listed authentications to do this.
When they test successfully, the authentications appear in a nested tree under the
Discover
checkbox (checked when they test successfully).
9 Save— Click Save to preserve the profile. You can then right-click it to select Execute and

does not save the profile to execute later.

10 Execute —Clicking Execute begins discovery, confirm you do not mind waiting, and the
message traffic between OpenManage Network Manager and the device appears on the
Results screen.
This is a standard
Audit screen. See Audit Trail Portlet on page 154 for more about it. The
Audit Trail portlet saves its contents if you want to see the message traffic between
OpenManage Network Manager and the device(s) later.
11 A message ( Discovery Profile Execute is complete ) appears in the Messages at the bottom left
of the status bar.
NOTE:
You can also schedule discovery profiles to run periodically, updating your database with any network
changes. For more, see the options description in Schedules on page 156.
12 The devices in your network now appear in the Managed Resources portlet, and elsewhere (in
the Network View topology, for example).
See
Discovery Profiles on page 165 for more about these capabilities.
NOTE:
OpenManage Network Manager automatically adds discovered devices to the default ICMP monitor.
