  • 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
