Saved Discoveries view

When you create a device discovery process, information about that process is listed in this view. Information about the device group selected during the SNMPv1 and NetBotz Appliance discovery process is not included.

Wait a few minutes after a discovery process reports it is idle before you consider that it failed to discover all the devices it should have. The Data Center Expert server can take more time to list discovered devices in the Unassigned group in the Device Groups view, than it takes the discovery process to discover those devices.

Discovery entries

Use the Export Discovery Entries option to export information about the selected saved device discovery processes to a local file. Information about the device group selected during the SNMPv1 and NetBotz Appliance discovery process is not included.

Use the Import Discovery Entries display to import saved device discoveries from a local file.

Discovery entries file format

Use this file format to import SNMPv1 and NetBotz Appliance device discovery entries to the Saved Discoveries view from a local *.txt file. Information about the device group selected during the discovery process is not included.
