Initiating an Auto-Discovery Scan on a PlatformTopics marked with * relate to HQ Enterprise-only features. To display the Auto-Discovery page, select the Platform you wish to scan. Select the Platform from your Dashboard if it appears there, or navigate to it by choosing Browse from the Resource menu in the Masthead, and clicking the Platforms link. After selecting the Platform, choose the New Auto-Discovery option from the Tools menu in the upper right side of the page. This screen allows users to initiate an auto-discovery scan — either an Auto Scan or a File Scan — on a platform. In order to scan a platform, an Agent must be installed on the platform. (An exception is network devices and network hosts, which can be scanned but do not have Agents on them. In those cases, the connection is proxied through a machine with an Agent running on it.) The auto-discovery process detects platforms, servers, and services on the platform. The discovered platforms and servers, but not services, will appear in the Auto-Discovery portlet on the Dashboard. When you add the auto-discovered platforms and servers to inventory, the services that were discovered on them are also added to inventory.
