You can install Discovery processors on multiple on- premise servers. Each of the installed Asset Discovery Processors is registered to a single Asset Discovery Manager. Once the assets are discovered, the Asset Discovery Processor pushes all the gathered information to the Asset Discovery Manager. Asset Discovery Manager sends all the asset information from on-premise server to the Cloud Service Management using the built-in bulk import functionality. The turnaround time for a discovery scan depends on your environment. For example, network latency, endpoint response time, hardware, and the accuracy of the credentials that are supplied to discovery. To avoid network latency, install Asset Discovery Processor in the target network. Subtenancy is not supported for discovery-related functionality.
