Discovering devices by using REST APIs

BMC Discovery version 11.3 introduced the ability to discover devices by using REST APIs but this was limited to discovering storage devices. In the 20.02 (12.0) release, you can additionally discover the following device types:

  • Host
  • Network Device
  • Printer
  • SNMP Managed Device
  • Management Controller

The ability to scan new devices using REST APIs is delivered through the monthly TKU release.

Note

Ensure that you have installed the latest TKU so that all the supported REST API devices are available. For more information about updated REST API devices, see the latest TKU documentation.
