Introduction

Discovery refers to the process of identifying and collecting data on all assets across various environments, including on-premise and private cloud. The assets can encompass servers, routers, switches, workstations, printers, software applications, and other components.

The discovery is achieved by deploying collectors into your environment, which collect all the information related to the resources.

This visibility is crucial for effective asset management, security monitoring, and resource optimization.
