How to Use Continuous Discovery

You can use the Continuous Discovery Policy Wizard to detect new computers and to create policies that specify how to deploy software on the discovered computers.

Deployment jobs triggered by the continuous discovery service are prefixed with the character string CD_.

The basic steps for detecting new computers and applying policies are as follows:

1. Specify a name for the continuous discovery policy.
2. Select the DSM software packages that you want to deploy.
3. Specify the IPv4 address range of the target computers to which the policy is to be applied.
4. Select the target platforms on which you want to install agents.
5. Specify the credentials of the privileged user who is to perform the deployment job.
6. Specify additional agent configuration details for the payload when it is delivered.
7. Review the specified settings and deploy the software package based on the specified policy.
