Discovery Error need to know why

[Joshua Comeau]

Why we are getting the below error on some devices in Discovery? 

- MID Server mid.server.MIDPROD02 is not a suitable MID because it does not have the following capabilities [{Capability: Nmap, value: null}]

@Joshua Comeau Looks like the MID server is unable to perform NMAP from the respective MID server, please see the product documentation below to install NMAP

Please mark the appropriate response as correct answer and helpful.

Thanks!!

Hi Joshua,

I feel this is something related to connectivity.

NMAP is credential less port scanning protocol and based on the ports response it identifies what kind of device it is.

I think it is trying to scan the device using NMAP as MID server doesn't have access to any credentials.

I would recommend, try reinstalling the MID server, or check for the right set of permissions on the machine where the MID server is installed.

Kind Regards,
