Monitor Rediscovery

Motadata allows you to run rediscovery for monitors to discover specific instances within these monitors for monitoring.

  • Suppose you have discovered an ESXi and provisioned as a monitor, you can now discover all the virtual devices within that ESXi using the Rediscover settings.
  • Suppose you have discovered a Windows server, you can discover all the processes, services and application in that server using the Rediscover settings.

Go to the Main Menu, Select Settings . After that, go to Monitoring .Select Rediscover Settings. The interface to rediscover the instances within a monitor now displayed.

Select the following tab as per the instance you want to discover:

  • Application
  • Cloud
  • Virtualization
  • Interface
  • Process
  • Service
  • File/Directory

Here, you can configure a scheduler to run for rediscovery.

The following details for the created schedulers are now available to view under each tabs:

Scheduler Type The frequency at which the scheduler runs.
Start Date The start date at which the scheduler runs.
Triggers The start time at which the scheduler runs.
