Discover howto?

Post by dexx »

Is there some usage doco available for the discover plugin? The link from the download page just goes to CatiEZ 0.7 page.

This is by no means official documentation, but this is how I have been able to use Discovery.

After installing the plugin ...

Go to Console>Settings and the Misc Tab

You should see a section called Discovery ...

Add the Subnet you wish to scan, or if you have multiple to scan use a comma-separated list (example - 192.168.15.0/24,192.168.16.0/24)
Add your DNS Server
You can change the Ping method ... I am using ICMP
You can do comma separated lists for SNMP Community as well

Set the Poller Frequency for how often you want Discovery to scan the network
Set a start time for polling and wait ...

That is basically it. After hosts start to appear on the Discover Tab, you need to choose the ones you wish to add and set up the host the rest of the way.
