Discovery Run page
The Discovery Run provides summary of discovery runs (scans). BMC Discovery lists details about the scanned network, type of scan performed, discovery level, and status of scan. The page also displays links to all the DiscoveryAccess nodes, which are created during each scan.
To view a Discovery Run page
- From the main menu, click Manage > Discovery.
The Discovery status page displays. - To view the latest completed discovery runs, select the Recent Runs tab.
- To view the Discovery Run page for a discovery run, click that run.
Example Discovery Run page
The following screen shows a typical Discovery Run page.
The top section of the Discovery Run page shows summary results, with totals and links to attempted accesses that are part of this run:
Success – the endpoint was discovered successfully.
No Access – the endpoint responded, but no information was retrieved.
No Response – the endpoint did not respond. It is considered dark space.
Error – an error occurred during the attempted discovery access.
The top section also provides links to lists of the devices discovered as part of the discovery run. It lists:
- Hosts
