Use the Discovery_UNIX and the Discovery_HardwareUNIX Knowledge Scripts to discover configuration and resource information for many types of UNIX and Linux operating environments and servers.
NOTE:Discovery of floppy disk drives and ROM Drivers (sd) are not supported.
The UNIX agent 8.0 or later supports delta discovery for all UNIX and Linux discovery Knowledge Scripts. Delta discoveries are more efficient and require fewer system and network resources to perform since they only send information about changes to the QDB. This is the default setting for any new discovery job you run. However, the first time you run a delta discovery job it will perform a full discovery since there is no previous full discovery to compare against. Any subsequent jobs will perform a delta discovery.
For more information about delta discovery, see the AppManager Control Center User Guide on the AppManager page.
By default, these scripts run once for each computer.
Set the Values tab parameters as needed.

How to Set It |
|---|---|
|
Raise event if discovery succeeds? (y/n) |
This Knowledge Script always raises an event when the job fails for any reason. In addition, you can set this parameter to y to raise an event when the job succeeds. The default is n. |
|
Event severity when discovery succeeds |
Set the event severity level, from 1 to 40, to reflect the importance when the job succeeds. The default is 25. |
|
Event severity when discovery fails |
Set the event severity level, from 1 to 40, to reflect the importance when the job fails. The default is 5. |
|
Event severity when discovery partially succeeds |
Set the event severity level, from 1 to 40, to reflect the importance when the job is partially completed. This type of event usually indicates the operating environment on the target computer is not supported or not recognized. The default is 15. |
|
Ignore partial discovery event for network interfaces? (y/n) |
Set this parameter to y if you want discovery to avoid partial discovery events related to network interfaces. The default is n. |
|
Discover printers? |
Set this parameter to y if you want discovery to include printer resources. By default, printers are discovered. |
|
Discover ZFS pool datasets? |
Set this parameter to y if you want discovery to include ZFS pool datasets. The default is n. |
|
Event severity for internal failure |
Set the event severity level, from 1 to 40, to reflect the importance when the job fails. The default is 5 |
|
Enable debugging? |
Set to y to enable debugging. The default is n. |
The Discovery_HardwareUNIX Knowledge Script discovers hardware resources for Dell and HP computers running a Linux operating system. For more information about the hardware Knowledge Scripts, see Section 5.0, HardwareUNIXÂ Knowledge Scripts.
