Adding a discovery schedule

Adding a schedule instructs the server to run a discovery at the defined time.

To add a discovery schedule, complete the following steps from the Discovery Management Console:

1. In the Functions pane, click Discovery > Schedule.
   The Schedule pane is displayed.
2. In the Schedule pane, click Add.
   The Discovery Schedule notebook displayed.
3. In the Name field, type the name of the discovery schedule.
4. In the Start Time (server time) field, type the date and time when you want the discovery schedule to start.
5. From the Repeat list, select the frequency that you want the discovery schedule to run.
6. In the Every field, type the numeric value for the time interval.
7. To configure the scope of the discovery schedule, click the Scope tab. The Scope page is displayed.
8. Select the scope elements that you want to include. If you use TADDM 7.3.0.3, or later, select one of the following options:
   • Dynamic content of selected scopes and groups. In this mode, you can select only scope sets and scope groups. They are resolved to a list of elements just before a discovery. It means that you can modify the content of such scope sets and scope groups, and the defined schedule runs discoveries with up-to-date list of scope elements. As a result, you do not need to modify a schedule each time you change the content of a scope set, or a scope group.
   • Static, selected elements of scopes and groups. In this mode, you can select scope sets, scope groups, and single scope elements. The content of such scope is static, which means that only the chosen elements are discovered. If the scope set, or scope group content changes over time, the discovery is run against the elements that belonged to the scope at the time of the discovery schedule creation.
9. From the Profile list, select one of the following options:
   • To discover active computer systems in the runtime environment, select Level 1 Discovery. This profile can be used to perform credential-less discovery.
   • To discover detailed information about the active computer systems in the runtime environment, select Level 2 Discovery.
   • To discover the entire application infrastructure, deployed software components, physical servers, network devices, virtual LAN, and host data, select Level 3 Discovery.
10. To save the discovery schedule, click OK.
