When accessing the Automatic tab on the Discovery page, a table displays a listing of all available discovery tasks. You can configure multiple instances of discovery with each instance having its own schedule and set of inclusion ranges. When a discovery task is executed, the Last Run column is updated to display its progress, including the percentage complete.

There are two parts to automatic discovery and percent complete, and it is calculated by weighting two factors. First, there is a ping sweep on each host, which counts as 10% of the process. Second, the identification process counts as 90% of the process. (If no host was found on that IP, the 90% part is considered complete.) For example, if you have 100 hosts in your discovery range and 50 have been pinged, but only 10 have been identified, you have: 50/100 * .10 = 0.05 (ping sweep) 10/100 * .90 = 0.09 (identification) 0.05 + 0.09 = 0.14 * 100 = 14% (total completed percentage).

Only one discovery task can run at a time. If you select to run more than one discovery task, the percentage in the Last Run column remains at 0% until the currently running task is complete.

Under the For all automatic discoveries section, there are three options available:

Also from the Automatic tab, you can:
