Once an auto discovery job is added, you can select it by clicking Auto-Discovery Jobs under Discovery
Target, in the Configuration Wizard: Dell OpenManage Plug-in for Nagios XI - Step 1 page, and then
selecting the job you have just created from the drop down menu for device discovery. This will scan and
discover only the new devices added to the job.
If you want to rediscover previously discovered devices or discover all the devices in the Scan Target
range, check the Discover all IP addresses option.
