Information
Important This documentation space contains information about the SaaS version of BMC Helix Discovery. If you are using the on-premises version of BMC Helix Discovery, see BMC Helix Discovery 25.2 (On-Premises).

discovery.getNames

discovery.getNames(target, ip_address)


Performs a DNS lookup on the IP address and returns a list of FQDN strings. Finds the DiscoveryAccess from the target node and attaches the list of FQDNs to it.

 

The target is a DDD node or a Host. If no names are found it returns an empty list. If an error occurs the discovery.getNames function returns None.

The DNS lookup is performed from the appliance or BMC Discovery Outpost rather than the discovery target.
