Configuring resource discovery

Before you can apply policies, you must discover all of the resources (agents and servers) that you have to work with. 

Arellia optimizes the resource discovery process for both agents and servers. Arellia discovers agent file details once and then uses hashes afterwards to ensure that each agent doesn't keep sending file details to the server. The server discovery process stores known platform configurations and can instantly recognize server details so information doesn't have to be gathered from each server.

To Configure Resource Discovery, do the following steps:

1. In the Arellia Security Management console click the Configuration tab.
2. Navigate to Settings > Configuration > Resource Discovery.
3. In the Resource Discovery Agents folder, choose an agent discovery resource.
4. In the Server Discoverer folder, choose a server discovery resource.
