Discovery details
  • Once SPP creates an asset, it will not attempt to re-create it or modify the asset if the asset is rediscovered by a different job.
  • Any SSH host keys encountered in discovery will be automatically accepted.
  • You can configure multiple rules for an Asset Discovery job. When SPP runs the Asset Discovery job, if it finds an asset with more than one rule, it applies the connection and profile settings of the first rule that discovers the asset.

To add a new Asset Discovery rule

  1. On the Asset Discovery Rules tab, click Edit.

  2. Click Add.

  3. In the New Asset Discovery Rule dialog, enter a Name up to 50 characters.
