After Service Mapping discovers configuration items (CIs) belonging to your application service for the first time, it then rediscovers CIs to find changes and updates. Create or modify discovery schedules to control how often Service Mapping rediscovers services or CIs. For example, you may create custom discovery schedules to avoid redundant stress on the infrastructure.

Before you begin

Define your application services prior to defining discovery schedules for discovering CIs which are part of these services.

When creating a schedule for CI types or specific CIs, make sure that at least one application service containing the relevant CI is in the operational state.

Learn about different types of top-down discovery schedules.
