Rediscovery

Existing monitored devices can be rediscovered when a discovery profile containing one of its IP addresses or its host name is run. A single monitored device can be rediscovered when you click the Rediscover button on the Details tab for the specific device.

The following set of attributes can be updated as a result of this discovery:

System name
Hostname
Device type (as it appears in CA Performance Center)
Location
Vendor
Device description
Device model

Note: Changes to device attributes can result in changes to the groups and device collections a device is a part of. Changes to groups and device collections can potentially add or remove monitoring profiles.

Changes in the device attributes can take up to 5 minutes to be seen in CA Performance Center inventory or dashboards views.
