Creating Discoveries

There are several steps for creating a discovery. A wizard guides you through the process, which varies slightly depending on the type of discovery.

Step 1. Create the Discovery (Name)

When you are creating a discovery, it is important to consider which cluster is running a discovery. A discovery can only belong to one cluster. When you run the discovery, the collection is performed by the nodes in the cluster.

By default, for on-premises collections, the credentials used to access the targets and read the data are those that were provided when creating the node. If required, you can specify alternate credentials during the creation of your on-premises discovery. For more information, see Node Credential and Alternate Credential Details for On-Premises Discoveries .

Before you specify the credentials for a cloud discovery (Azure Active Directory, Azure Resource, Exchange Online, Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint Online), you must register and configure the application used by Enterprise Reporter in your Azure environment. You can complete this process using the Configuration | Tenant Application Management option in the main menu before you create discoveries.

If the Enterprise Reporter cloud applications are not yet registered and configured in your Azure environment, the Name page of the discovery displays a warning message above the Azure Tenant name. For more information, see Configuring Tenant Applications for Cloud Discoveries .

If you have already configured the required tenant application and it indicates the option to Reconfigure, nothing further is necessary.

Select an existing discovery on the Manage Discoveries pane and click Duplicate to create an exact copy. Click OK to confirm that you want to duplicate the selected discoveries and edit the copy to meet your needs. For more information, see Modifying a Discovery .

For on-premises discoveries select Use default node credentials to target computers that the logged-in user can access.

Click Add to use the Credential Manager and select (or Add) an Microsoft 365 administrator account within the target tenant and click OK. For more information, see Using the Credential Manager .
If any warnings or messages are displayed, review them and click OK to continue. Optionally, click Remove to delete an invalid or unwanted account.

Configuring Tenant Applications for Cloud Discoveries

You must register the tenant applications that are used by Enterprise Reporter for cloud discoveries in your Azure environment. You can complete this process using the Configuration | Tenant Application Management option in the main menu before you create discoveries.

If the tenant applications are not registered in your Azure environment, the Names page of the discovery displays a warning message above the Azure Tenant name. If you have configured the required tenant application and it indicates the option to Reconfigure, nothing further is necessary.

However, when you upgrade to Enterprise Reporter 3.5, the workflow for creating cloud discoveries has been changed. You are prompted to reconfigure the tenant for each cloud discovery type (with the exception of Exchange Online). You must do this before the existing cloud discoveries can be run.
