Manual Discovery

Manual Discovery is a special configuration interface for the middle ground between full auto-discovery with profiles and manually entering all the device details. It is logically equivalent to creating a new discovery profile, populating it with a single IP, and running the Device Auto Discovery job on just that profile. Users can simply enter an IP address or DNS name and Assure1 will run the Device Auto Discovery application on the server specified using a SOAP request. If the device is pingable, it will be discovered, added to the device catalog, and have its basic device information populated.

Refer to the Grid Details section below for details on how to interact with the grid.

This user interface calls REST methods from api/discovery/discover.

The UI path for this interface is Configuration -> Device Discovery -> Manual Discovery.

Grid Details

  • Run on Server - Which Assure1 Broker should execute the discovery.

    Note

    The "Device Auto Discovery" job must be enabled on the server where discovery will be initiated, but the schedule for the job can be disabled so it does not start automatically. If the job is not enabled, an error will be returned.

  • Devices (DNS/IP) - The FQDN or IP addresses for the device to be discovered.
