View and search Discovery Results

View and search Discovery Results

You can view and search Discovery Results for device information and for the properties of the scans used to discover devices.

1.
Go to the Discovery Results list:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Inventory, then click Discovery Results.
2.
To sort the list, do any of the following:
◦
Select Choose Action > Include Unreachable Items. The list displays devices that have a connection to the appliance and devices that cannot currently be reached.
◦
In the View By drop-down list, select Discovery Name. The list is sorted to group according to the name of the Discovery Schedule under which they were discovered.
3.

Provision the Agent using the discovered IP address or hostname

Provision the Agent using the discovered IP address or hostname

You can provision the Agent on devices using the IP address or hostname from the Discovery Results page.

After devices have been identified in Discovery Results, you can provision or install the Agent on those devices using the links on the Discovery Results page. This discovery identifies the devices to be provisioned at the outset, rather than requiring a scan during the provisioning phase to identify devices.

Provisioning the Agent is especially useful for Windows devices. Windows devices can be discovered, but there are few management options available to Windows devices unless the Agent is installed on those devices.

1.
Go to the Discovery Results list:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Inventory, then click Discovery Results.
2.
Select the check box next to one or more devices.
3.
Select Choose Action, then do one of the following:
◦
Select Provision > Agent: IP Address.
◦
Select Provision > Agent: Hostname.
The Provisioning Schedule Detail page appears. Information about the selected devices appears on the page.
4.
Edit the provisioning options as needed.
See Install the KACE Agent on a device or multiple devices.

Stop a running discovery scan

Stop a running discovery scan

You can stop a running scan at any point in its progress.

You can stop a running discovery scan from either the Discovery Schedules list or from the Discovery Schedule Detail page. You can stop multiple scans from the Discovery Schedules list.

When you interrupt a scan with Stop, whatever devices in the IP range that has been scanned up to that point appear in Discovery Results.

1.
Go to the Discovery Schedules list:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Inventory, then click Discovery Schedules.
2.
Stop a running scan using one of two methods:
◦
Stop one or more running scans using the Choose Action menu.
1.
Select the check box next to one or more schedules.
2.
Select Choose ActionStop, then click Yes to confirm.
* 
NOTE: If any of the selected schedules are not running, selecting Stop does not prevent the scan from running at its next scheduled time.
◦
Stop a running scan from its Discovery Schedule Detail page.

2.
Scroll to the bottom of the page, click Stop, then click Yes to confirm.

Scan activity stops for the designated Discovery Schedule. The Progress column on the Discovery Schedules list displays Stopping until the scan is fully stopped, at which point the progress status changes to Stopped.
