Scheduling System Discovery Task

Discovery tasks can be scheduled to regularly discover new devices from a live network in the NetBrain domain to keep it updated. By default, the task takes all devices in your current domain as seed devices to expand the discovery.

1. Log in to the Domain Management page.
2. On the Domain Management page, click Schedule Task on the Start Page.
3. On the Schedule Task tab, select the Enable check box for the Scheduled System Discovery entry.

4. Click Scheduled System Discovery, and then edit the discovery task by following the wizard.
   

• Frequency — specify the execution frequency for the task. By default, it is once.
• Network Settings — specify the Front Server, proxies, and credentials to access devices in the discovery.
• Discovery Seed — by default, the Discover All Live Network method is selected, which means taking all devices in the domain as seeds to discover new devices by neighbor spreading until the discovery depth is reached.

• Plugins — add plugins to resolve the inaccuracy of path and topology.
• Email Alerts — enable the email alert function for task execution failures or new devices discovered.

• Summary — check your settings.

5. Click Submit to save your settings.
   

   Tip: After the discovery task is executed, the system will automatically rebuild the IPv4 Layer 3 topology and synchronize new devices to sites.
