Is there a log file that shows the activity that occur when discovering a system?

[Dana Swanson]

For HP SIM 5.1 SP1:

I was wondering if there is a log file that shows the automatic or manual discovery of servers, what was successful and what is failing when adding a system and it doesn't appear.

It would be nice to see where system detection is having an issue so the issue in question can be looked at.

Thanks,

You can find it under Tasks & Logs --> View Task Results. When looking at the results of Daily Device Identification, you can select an individual system or you can run an ID process against just one system. You'll see comprehensive log information like the following:
