You can schedule one or more SSH Key Discovery jobs to run automatically against the accounts you have added to SPP (SPP). The SSH keys in the scope of the discovery job may include SSH keys that were previously added (manually) to the SPP partition.

For more information, see Discover SSH Key settings.

When an SSH Key Discovery job runs, the found SSH keys are listed in the Discovered SSH Keys tile in the selected partition. They are also shown in Assets (under the Discovered SSH Keys tab) and in Accounts (under the Discovered SSH Keys tab).
