To manage your IT environment, it is crucial to understand the IT assets, their location, and how they are used. By having an accurate and complete view of the assets you own can help you adequately manage your asset. Using the Asset Discovery capability of the ServiceAide Cloud Serviceaide Intelligent Service Management (CSM) solution you can effectively manage your dynamic enterprise environment. Asset Discovery allows you to identify network assets with an IP address. For example, devices such as servers (virtual, and physical) desktops and laptops. However the application does not support the discovery of other network devices such as routers and switches. Discovery scans specified IP address range that tells the discovery tool which devices to scan. To retrieve useful information, the discovery tool needs credentials for devices within an IP range to connect and scan. As an administrator, you can schedule asset discovery to run at a regular interval. You set scans to start automatically at a scheduled time. Scan schedules can be set for one time in the future or on a routine basis. When the time of a scheduled scan arrives, the network discovery tool starts scanning your network.
