Implementation and Discovery
When endpoints are discovered, you can see the inventory information for the endpoints in the Syxsense console.
When you discover the devices, it allows you to perform inventory and configuration tasks, vulnerability scanning and fixing, patch management, and software distribution on the devices.
From the technical point of view, discovery is the search of the devices within a given IP range. When discovery is over, and the devices are found, the Syxsense agent is implemented on them, and they appear in the console.
There are several methods you can use to discover devices:
- create a Discovery task, specifying the IP range
- download the agent manually from the cloud and install it on necessary devices
- use group policy (GPO)
- install Syxsense agent through another system management tool (contact Help Desk for more information)
For more details on how to install an agent on different operating systems and discover the devices, read the corresponding sections below or watch our training video.
