Scheduling Discovery
When you first discover devices, you typically use a Discovery Profile that includes the
discovery parameters (IP addresses, authentication used, and so on). You can keep your
inventory up-to-date and discover equipment over a range of addresses by scheduling a
repeated discovery. To do this, after you create the Discovery Profile in Discovery Profiles,
open the Schedules screen (accessible through File > Open > System Services > Schedules
or under the System Services node in the navigation window), click New and select Device
Discovery. Select the profile, and configure the schedule in the Schedule Info panel.
Figure 8. Schedule Info
You cannot schedule discovery using the Default profile. See the NMS200 User Guide for
more about what you can automate.
Monitoring Performance
You can actively monitor performance, as described in this section, or you can monitor event
and alarm activity as described in Alarm Panels.
