How to speed up discovery and collection on a new Network Range

The Data Collector uses the following intervals:

  • Poll = Every 30 minutes
  • Collect = Every 3 hours
  • Discover = Every 5 hours

1) Install Data Collector on 192.168.14.65 and the network range 192.168.14.1 - 192.168.14.254 will be added.

The Data Collector then starts to discover and collect the network range 192.168.14.1 - 192.168.14.254.

 

2) The customer then adds a new network range 192.168.100.1 - 192.168.100.254.

The new network range 192.168.14.1 - 192.168.14.254 will first be discovered and collected after 5 hours if nothing is done, because a discovery runs every 5 hours.

There are two options to speed up the discovery process:

  • Select "Force Discover" in Admin --> Data Collectors and within 30 minutes a discovery and collection will be executed.
  • Select "Force Discover" in Admin --> Data Collectors, then stop and start the Data Collector: in this case, a discovery and collection will be executed within 30 seconds.
