Discovery - Which attributes can get changed on a server? And how frequently?

We want to implement Discovery only for discovering Servers. We dont care about the Software details.

Question is - Which attributes can usually get changed on a server? And how frequently?

 

Asking this question to decide on the frequency of running the Discovery. Looking at the server form, I could find any attributes which I think can get changed frequently.

You can find this information via the doc site under the link below. Just look for which Server OS you want to discover. It will show you the attributes SN discovery discovers. The frequency depends on how often you run discovery on the target device and how often that attribute might change.

Hi @Suggy 

 

Open this cmdb_datasource_last_update.LIST 

Where you can see the attributes updated by the source.
