Discovery issue

Steve Giordano — Wed, 07 Dec 2005 12:59:44 GMT

Using Automatic Discovery to discover a server by putting a list of IP addresses in the IP ranges input box at the bottom. Trimmed the list down to 1 IP address but nothing happens. The discovery runs and it indicates "1 processed" but the server never shows up in the list. I've searched for the server in SIM, even went into the devices table in the database looking for it. But there are no errors. Are there any logs I can look at that show some details of what's happening during a discovery? I did an Ethereal trace and saw a lot of the SNMP information being passed to the app server but nothing in the database.

Make sure that discovery filters are not enabled by clicking on Configure general settings link in the discovery page.

If its enabled, try disabling it and rediscover the system.

That did it. I noticed I had the option selected to only discover servers with HP management agents installed. Since we don't install the agents on VM's it wasn't working. Works now -- thanks.
