Asynchronous discovery sensor

For information about asynchronous discovery, see Asynchronous discovery.

In asynchronous discovery, the output of the discovery script is an archive file that contains the discovery results and is stored in a directory on the TADDM server. An unreachable IP address is considered valid if an archive file exists on the TADDM server for that IP address. Based on the content of the archive file, the appropriate sensors are scheduled to process their discovery script output. Sensors then perform discovery by parsing the script output instead of directly accessing the target system, as is done in a nonscript-based discovery.
