In ask the experts video, it is mentioned as - "unlike a full scans which can which scan every device incremental scans focuses only on the changes since the last discovery"

Where on earth is that Incremental scan hidden 🙂

@Vijaya_Mnpram thanks for taking time and replying. But SG connector is a pull based. Data gets pulled via API (its not scan based)
But the video talks about 'SCAN' 🙂

OOTB ServiceNow Discovery does not use an incremental scan approach to discover CIs. Instead, each time Discovery runs, it scans the entire specified IP range.

There's a reference on the slide to event-based Cloud Discovery, which is probably what they were referring to. Event-based discovery can be considered "incremental" since it only discovers changes to the cloud environment, as opposed to a whole scan. It doesn't provide quite the level of detail that a full scan does, but it should give enough information about a CI until the discovery schedule executes.
