Rediscover Metric Families

Rediscovering metric families lets you ensure that you have the latest metric family and component support information for your devices.

Note: Log in as a tenant administrator to perform this task.

Follow these steps:

1. Select Admin, Data Source Settings, and click a Data Aggregator data source.
2. Click Monitored Devices from the Monitored Inventory menu.
3. Select a device for which you want to rediscover metric families from the Tree View tab.

   The device information displays in the Polled Metric Families view.

4. Click the Update Metric Families button.

   The Update Metric Families dialog opens asking you to confirm whether to update all metric families.

5. Click Yes.

   The status of each polled metric family is updated, such as whether it is newly or no longer supported. This status includes updating the Last Discovered time.

   The Components view is also updated for each polled metric family. Components that are no longer found during the rediscovery get a status of Retired.
