Service

To automate the discovery, you can install the Discovery-Tool as a service.

Service Restart Interval:

You can configure the interval of the service restart (default 24h).

When the interval is reached, the service will perform a self restart to release the allocated memory that can not release during the service process is running.

It will not affect a running scan, the restart will only executed when there is a free time slot between the configured scan settings.

When it is configured to 0 the function is disabled.

Optional Agent Setting

The following Setting are optional if you have Discovery-Agents running in your Network.

Agent Scan Interval (min)

Here you can define how often the Discovery-Tool will check for available Discovery-Agents with new Data.

Agent IP Range

Here you can define the IP Range(s) that will be checked for available Discovery-Agents.

Like the IP-Range at the Common-Setting you can define multiple Ranges. 

Agent TCP Port:

The TCP Port of the available Agents in the configured IP Range.

Agent Timeout (s):

The timeout for each connection to a remote agent.

default = 3 seconds

Trigger Agents to scan

The discovery-tool will trigger all available Agents at the configured range to start a local scan.

Agent File-Transfer-List

Here you can configure files that will be synchronized with all available Agents at the configured range.

For example you can transfer pattern files from "discovery/pattern/myCustomPattern.pat" to "agent/pattern/myCustomPattern.pat"

This will also work if you made changes to your "source" files.

Install/Uninstall Service Button*

Here you can install or uninstall the Discovery-Tool as a Windows Service out of the GUI.

If you are using optional Windows Agents in your Network you must run the Discovery-Tool as Service to collect the Agent Data.
