PRTG Manual: Saving Discovery Results
When a new discovery result is created or an existing discovery result is modified, you can save the new/modified result to the UVexplorer database. The Save Discover Result form makes this possible. When a discovery result is saved, the following two options are available:
This option lets you create a new discovery result in the database. Type in a name, click the Save button, and the current discovery result will be saved in the database under the specified name.
Overwrite Existing Discovery Result
This option lets you replace an existing saved discovery result with the current one. That is, rather than creating a new discovery result in the database, this option will overwrite an existing result with the currently-loaded result. The result to be replaced is specified by selecting an existing discovery result from the displayed list. To assist in selecting a discovery result, the following properties are displayed for each result:
This is the name assigned to the discovery result when it was saved.
This is the discovery result’s type, which describes the origin of the result. The possible values for this property are:
▪Manual – The result was created by a manual (i.e., non-scheduled) discovery.
▪Scheduled (Raw) – The result stores the raw result of a scheduled discovery execution. It stores a snapshot of what the network looked like during one particular execution of the scheduled discovery. The Discovery Result Name property indicates which scheduled discovery created the result.
▪Scheduled (Rollup) – The result stores the ‘rollup’ for a scheduled discovery. Unlike raw discovery results, of which there is one per execution of the scheduled discovery, there is only one rollup result for each scheduled discovery. The rollup discovery result contains the union of all devices that have been recently seen on the network by the scheduled discovery. The Discovery Result Name property indicates which scheduled discovery the ‘rollup’ result belongs to.
The date and time at which the most recent changes were made to the discovery result.
The date and time at which the discovery result was originally created.
