Discovery Service

Track the status of every discovery scan, monitor live asset counts, and review completed scan results from a single page.

The Discovery Service page lists all scans triggered manually or by a schedule. It updates in real time so you can follow a running scan without navigating away.

To access Discovery Service, navigate to Admin > Discovery and Agents > Discovery > Discovery Service.
