Delete Discovery Schedules

Delete Discovery Schedules

You can delete Discovery Schedules as needed. When Discovery Schedules are deleted, scan results related to those schedules are also deleted. Devices discovered using the schedules, and added to inventory, remain in inventory.

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.
Select the check box next to one or more schedules.
3.
Select Choose Action > Delete, then click Yes to confirm.

About managing devices

About managing devices

Managing devices is the process of using the appliance to collect and maintain information about devices on your network and performing tasks such as monitoring device status, creating reports, and so on.

To add devices to the appliance inventory, you can:

•
Install the KACE Agent on devices. Devices are automatically added to inventory after the Agent is installed on them and the Agent reports inventory to the appliance. See Provisioning the KACE Agent.
•
Enable Agentless management for devices. Agentless management is especially useful for devices that cannot have the KACE Agent installed, such as devices with unsupported operating systems. See Managing Agentless devices.
•
Upload inventory information for devices manually. See Adding devices manually in the Administrator Console or by using the API.
* 
NOTE: Your product license agreement entitles you to manage a specified number of devices that are classified as Managed Computers, Assets, and Monitored Servers. Devices count toward these limits even if such devices are MIA (missing in action) or no longer in use. However, devices that are added to inventory manually, or through the API, do not count toward license limits. See View product licensing information.

For information about the features available to devices, see Features available for each device management method.

Features available for each device management method

Features available for each device management method

Device management features vary, depending on the method used to manage the device and the device’s operating system.

For Windows devices, installing the Agent provides a full range of features. For Linux® devices and devices that cannot have the Agent installed, such as printers and network devices, Agentless management is the recommended option.

The following table provides a high-level view of the components and features available to managed devices.

* 
NOTE: Under Agentless, the Non-Win OSs are Mac OS X, CentOS™, Debian®, FreeBSD®, Oracle® Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE, Solaris®, and Ubuntu.
