Discovery properties

Discovery properties allow you to control several aspects of the horizontal discovery process.

Navigate to Discovery Definition > Properties to edit these properties:

IP properties


Field	Description
glide.discovery.enforce_ip_sync	Enforce syncing of IP addresses: This sets the first IP address. Each time a computer with multiple NICs is discovered, one of the IP addresses associated with the NICs is chosen as the IP Address field of the CI. A value of false collects all NIC IP addresses. Type : true \| false Default value: true
glide.discovery.exclude_ip_sync_classes	Defines CI classes whose IP addresses should not be substituted if the address returned by Discovery does not match one of the devices' NICs. Use a comma separated list to define multiple classes. By default, the system uses the management IP of a load balancer returned by Discovery in the CI record, rather than substituting it for the IP address of one of the load balancer's NICs. Type : string Default value: cmdb_ci_lb

Network properties


Field	Description
glide.discovery.bgp_router_disable	BGP router exploration disable: Disables running the SNMP – Routing probe or pattern when discovering a router running the BGP protocol. Normally such exploration IS disabled because of the huge size of BGP routing tables, and because generally such routers are only operating at the edge of large networks where further network discovery would be irrelevant. This value could be set to false if your organization only uses BGP routers as edge routers between relatively small networks (such as between buildings on a single campus). Type : true \| false Default value: true
glide.discovery.debug.network_discovery	Network discovery debugging: Enables extensive logging of all Network Discovery activities on the instance. Type : true \| false Default value: true Learn More: Discovery monitoring and issue resolution
glide.discovery.discoverable.network.max.netmask.bits	Maximum netmask size for discoverable networks (bits): The maximum number of bits in a regular netmask for networks that are discovered by Network Discovery. A regular netmask is a netmask that can be expressed in binary as a string of ones followed by a string of zeroes. For example, 255.255.255.0 is regular and 255.255.255.64 is irregular. Regular networks are commonly expressed like: 10.0.0.0/24, which means a network address of 10.0.0.0 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0. Larger bit numbers mean networks with smaller numbers of addresses in them. For example, the network 10.128.0.128/30 has four addresses in it: one network address (10.128.0.128), one broadcast address (10.128.0.131), and two usable addresses (10.128.0.129 and 10.128.0.130). Small networks are commonly configured in network gear to provide loopback addresses or networks used strictly by point-to-point connections. Since these sorts of networks generally don't need to be discovered by Network Discovery, it would be useful to filter them out. By setting this property to a value of 1 through 32, you can limit the sizes of regular networks that are discovered. Setting it to any other value causes all networks to be discovered. Irregular networks are always discovered. The default value is 28, which means that regular networks with 8 or fewer addresses cannot be discovered. Type : integer Default value: 28
glide.discovery.network_owner_method	Network router selection method: This property controls the method used to decide (during Network Discovery) which router should be selected as the router to be associated with a given IP Network. The possible values are: First Router: the first router that discovers the network is associated Last Router: the last router that discovers the network is associated Most Networks: the router with the most attached networks is associated Least Networks: the router with the least attached networks is associated Type : choice list Default value: Most Networks Additional options: First Router, Last Router, Least Networks
glide.discovery.physical_interface_types	Physical interface types: A comma-separated list of interface types that are considered physical for the purposes of network discovery. If a router (or device capable of routing) has an interface of this type, the networks connected to that interface are considered locally connected to that device. The default interface types include Ethernet, 802.11, and Token Ring types. Interface type numbers are defined in the SNMP MIB-2, specifically in OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.3. Type : string Default value: 6,117,9,71,209
glide.discovery.switch_interface_types	Switch interface types: A comma-separated list of interface types that are considered. Interface type numbers are defined in the SNMP MIB-2, specifically in OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.3. Devices with any interface types that do not appear in this list are classified as routers, when they have routing. A complete list of the interface type numbers may be found on the IANA web site, in the section "ifType definitions". Type : string Default value: 7,8,9,26,53,62,69,71,78,115,117,209

glide.discovery.perf.metrics.rollup_by_build	Whether or not to aggregate individual Discovery performance metrics into a roll-up table that groups by discovery build. Type: true \| false Default value: true
glide.discovery.perf.metrics.rollup_by_status	Whether or not to aggregate individual Discovery performance metrics into a roll-up table that groups by discovery status. Type: true \| false Default value: true
glide.discovery.perf.metrics.rollup_by_target	Whether or not to aggregate individual Discovery performance metrics into a roll-up table that groups by target IP address. Type: true \| false Default value: true
glide.discovery.populate_software_instance_table	If set to true, Discovery populates these tables for software discovery: `cmdb_software_instance` `cmdb_sam_sw_install` Type: true \| false Default value: false Use this property only if you were using Software Asset Management with Discovery in pre-Jakarta releases and want to keep populating the `cmdb_software_instance` table. Open the System Properties [sys_properties] table to find this property.
glide.discovery.roundingInterval.cpu	CPU speed rounding: Enter the number to round the CPU speed to. The units are in MHz. Type : integer Default value: 1
glide.discovery.roundingInterval.ram	Memory rounding: Enter the number to round the computer RAM to. The units are in MB. Type : integer Default value: 1
glide.discovery.sensors.fire_ssh_probe	In case the VIPs (Load Balancer Virtual Services) did not return as part of the SNMP Probe payload, fire the SSH Probe. Select this option to use the SSH port on the load balancer, rather than just using SNMP. Type : true \| false Default value: true
glide.discovery.sensors.netapp_native_7mode	For 7-Mode NetApp storage servers use native discovery instead of SMI-S.
glide.discovery.sensors.netapp_native_cluster_mode	For Cluster Mode NetApp storage servers use native discovery instead of SMI-S.
glide.discovery.sensors.save_attachments	Save ECC queue attachments: The normal behavior for discovery sensors is to delete attachments to ECC queue entries upon successful sensor processing. Setting this property to true overrides this behavior, and forces attachments to be preserved. This would normally only be useful for debugging purposes. Type : true \| false Default value: true
glide.discovery.shazzam_ranges_json	Use JSON for IP ranges in Shazzam: If set to true, discovery will encode Shazzam's IP ranges as JSON, dramatically reducing the payload size. Type : true \| false Default value: true
glide.discovery.software_filter_keys	Windows software filters: If Windows software filtering is enabled, when the name of a discovered software contains any of the comma separated values, it will be filtered out. Type: string Default value: Language Pack, Hotfix Security Update
glide.discovery.software_sccm_managed	Windows software is SCCM managed: If set to true, Discovery will not populate software for computer CIs also managed by SCCM. Type : true \| false Default value: false Learn More: Discovery and SCCM together
glide.discovery.use_cmdb_identifiers	CMDB Identifiers: If set to true, identification and reconciliation will be handled by the CMDB API instead of through the old Discovery implementation. Type: true \| false Default value: true
glide.discovery.use_probe_results_cache	Use probe results cache: If set to true, the cache is checked to see if the results of the probe need to be processed by a sensor. It only needs to be processed if the results have changed from the last discovery run. Type : true \| false Default value: false Learn More: Create or modify a probe Note: In previous releases, this property was true by default. The value in this property is not changed during an upgrade to Kingston.
glide.discovery.virtual_interface_types	Virtual interface types: List of interface types (comma-separated) that can be considered "virtual" for the purposes of network discovery. In other words, if a router (or device capable of routing) has an interface of this type, the networks connected to that interface are considered virtually connected to that device. The default interface types include the propVirtual type. Interface type numbers are defined in the SNMP MIB-2, specifically in OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.3. Type : integer Default value: 53
glide.discovery.warn_minor_version	Warn on Minor Version Mismatch: If set to true, warnings are logged when minor_version mismatches are detected during Discovery sensor processing. Type : true \| false Default value: false
glide.ecc_agent.validated.override	An override for the ecc_agent validated field: If set to true, ecc_agent records will always be treated as valid. Type: true \| false Default value: false Navigate to System Properties > All Properties to find this property.
glide.eccprobe.awsrestprobe.max_retries	Set the maximum number of times the AWS request will be retried if a rate limit exceeded error occurs. Maximum value is 10. Note that retries use exponential backoff (2^x). Setting negative values is equivalent to setting the maximum value. Type: integer Default value: 4
glide.eccprobe.awsrestprobe.max_wait	Set the maximum total amount of time (seconds) the AWS request attempts to retry. Maximum value: 2046 seconds. Setting negative values is equivalent to setting the maximum value. Type: integer Default value: 30
glide.eccprobe.max_queued_probes_per_run	Set the maximum number of probes a node can pick up during a run. Type: integer Default value: 20
glide.eccprobe.node_agent_id	ECC queue entries with "mid.server.${VALUE}" will be picked up and processed by the nodes. This must be unique and not the same as any MID server name. Type: string Default value: NODE_AGENT
