●
Duration: how long it took for the discovery to complete.
●
Type: type of discovery ran (PC-Connected devices or network devices).
●
Total Devices Found: the number of network and PC-Connected devices found for this discovery.
●
New Devices Found: the number of “New” devices found (network and PC-Connected) for this discovery.
●
Hidden Devices: devices that have been removed from the Device View list. This can happen if a device has
been rediscovered with a new network card causing the previous entry to be invalidated but still kept in the
database as an inactive device.
●
Reactivated Devices: Hidden devices that are placed back in the Device View list. This can happen when a
previously hidden device is rediscovered under a previously discovered connection.
Detailed discovery data (second-level elds)
The second-level elds provide detailed data about each discovery. Use this data to evaluate and compare the
eectiveness of the discovery methods. For example, use the Devices Found and Unique Devices columns to
determine the strength of a particular discovery method.
The following are the second-level elds:
●
Method: the type of discovery that was run. The statistics collected on each discovery method row are
specic to that method. Each of the following elds listed are specic to the method listed here.
●
Devices Found: the number of devices found by this discovery method and possibly by other methods as
well.
●
Unique Devices: the number of devices found by only this discovery method. Not found within any other
discovery method.
●
New Devices: the number of new devices found by this discovery method. New devices are not cumulative
across methods if found by multiple methods. For example, if multiple methods were used for a discovery
and one new device was found by multiple methods, that one device will be listed under each method that
found it.
●
Node Count: the number of active nodes or network devices (printer and non-print devices) that were
discovered using this discovery method. This discovery represents a listing of IP addresses that could be
resolved into printers and added to the All Devices list.
●
Blocked Devices: the number of blocked devices found by this discovery method.
●
New Unique Devices: the number of new devices found by only this discovery method.
Discovery Templates
Discovery templates can be accessed from the Device Management navigation pane or the Discovery -
Templates task module.
Create Discovery Templates
A discovery template contains the settings to run a network-connected device discovery or PC-connected device
discovery. A discovery template can be used to launch a discovery or create a discovery schedule. The Discovery
- Templates task module can be used to manage the discovery templates.
