Step 3. Schedule your Discovery

There are five types of schedules you can create (once, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly). These are the same as the schedule types you can create to run reports in the Report Manager. You can create up to five schedules per discovery. Schedules are grouped alphabetically by type (daily, monthly, once, and weekly) and sorted within the groups chronologically. A schedule can be enabled or disabled at any time.

All times are stored in local time. They will be adjusted when your local time changes, such as for Daylight Savings Time.

When creating or editing the schedule for a discovery, you can view a calendar showing when the discovery will run based on the schedule. A discovery can also be run manually at any time—unless it is currently running. For details, see How is a Discovery Processed? and Manually Running a Discovery .

Once you create a schedule for the discovery, you can see the next scheduled run in the main Manage Discoveries pane. For more information, see Viewing your Discoveries .

5

Run your discovery on a daily interval

You can run your schedule every day, or at an interval you choose. For example, if you set the interval to two days, starting on the 22nd day of the month, it will run on the 24th, 26th, 28th and 30th.

The schedule resets at the beginning of the month, so if you have a daily schedule it runs on the first of the month, and then at the set interval. In the above example, after the run on the 30th, the next scheduled runs are the 1st and 3rd of the following month.
