Use this interface to fine tune discovery behavior by configuring the following:
- Instruct WhatsUp Gold to send an email to a specified address when discovery has completed.
- Use the SNMP SysName string for the device name for discovered devices when available.
- Use reverse DNS look-up to gather names for detected devices.
- Use advanced discovery connectivity checks with the option to define dedicated ports. For additional information, see Advanced Discovery Connectivity Checks.
- Enable SSL certificate discovery with the option to define dedicated ports if you do not want to use the default port (443).
- Limit the number of child discovery processes/jobs that run (maximum number of threads).
- Specify timeout interval for Ping, SNMP, and WMI.
