The Discovery Operations Monitor dashboard provides ServiceNow customers with a comprehensive view of performance metrics for their Discovery environment.
It enables monitoring of discovery health and identification of issues across the IT landscape to maintain optimal operation and quickly address anomalies.
Show full answer Show less  
Access the dashboard via **Workspaces \> Discovery Admin Workspace \> Insights \> Discovery Operations Monitor** or from the Discovery Admin Workspace Home page. Required roles include **discoveryadmin** and **admin**.

Prerequisites for use include running the ServiceNow AI Platform on Brazil, Australia, Zurich, or Yokohama releases, with Discovery Admin Workspace version 1.15.0 or later installed.

## Key Features

* The dashboard displays visualizations of discovery performance data based on the most recently completed 15-minute intervals, with data retention for 30 days and a default view of the last 7 days.
* Users can view dashboard details, share, export, schedule, print, or edit the dashboard and its visualizations, supporting customization to fit operational needs.
* Visualizations include line charts and bar charts that provide insights into transaction durations, sensor job counts by schedule, MID Server ECC queue loads, probe processing times, and discovery event volumes.
* Interactive elements allow selection of records to drill down into related transaction, ECC queue, or event data, facilitating detailed analysis.

## Key Outcomes

* Monitor discovery transaction performance relative to overall system transactions to detect spikes or anomalies specific to discovery processes.
* Identify which sensor job schedules generate the highest load to optimize scheduling and resource allocation.
* Track MID Server ECC queue volumes and average probe processing times to assess infrastructure performance and detect bottlenecks.
* Analyze discovery event volumes by type to understand operational status and error occurrences.
* Leverage detailed, time-bound data to proactively manage and troubleshoot the Discovery environment, improving reliability and efficiency.  
The Discovery Operations Monitor dashboard displays performance metrics for your Discovery environment. Use this dashboard to monitor discovery health and identify issues across your IT landscape.

## Key features {#disco-operations-monitor__key-features}

The Discovery Operations Monitor dashboard displays visuals for discovery performance data.  
Note:  
Metrics are collected for the most recently completed 15-minute window. Data may not reflect activity from the current interval until collection has run. For more information, see [Configure the time interval for a visualization](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/govMAC2Hxnj~VG7qomU3xA "Update the data collection time interval for individual visualizations on the Discovery Operations Monitor dashboard. By default, each visualization displays data in 15-minute intervals.").

Select the info icon (![]()) to view dashboard details, such as the owner and usage. Select the More Actions icon (![]()) to duplicate, share, export, schedule, or print the dashboard. Select Edit to access editing mode, where you can update the data source and visualization settings. For more
information about editing dashboards, see [Common dashboard tasks in the in-line editor](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=common-dashboard-tasks&version=australia&pubname=australia-now-intelligence&ft:locale=en-US).

Select the More Options icon (![]()) on a visualization to export it in CSV, JPEG, PNG, or Excel format.

| Report title | Type | Description |
|-|-|-|
| Transaction Duration | Line chart | Displays discovery transaction duration compared to overall system transaction duration over time. Use this chart to identify discovery-specific spikes or anomalies relative to system activity. Select a record to view the related transactions. |
| Sensor Jobs by Schedule | Bar chart | Displays the count of discovery sensor jobs over time, stacked by schedule. Use this chart to identify which schedules contribute most to sensor job load. |
| MID Server Queue Load | Line chart | Displays ECC queue volume over time for MID Servers associated with discovery. Metrics are tracked separately for each MID Server. Select a record to view the ECC queue records. |
| MID Server Average Probe Time | Line chart | Displays the average ECC probe processing time in seconds over time. Select a record to view the related ECC queue records. |
| Discovery Event Load | Bar chart | Displays the volume of discovery events over time. The chart tracks four event types: discovery.error, discovery.device.complete, discovery.complete, and discovery.canceled. Select a record to view related events. |

Note:  
The dashboard displays data from the last 7 days by default. Data is retained for 30 days. For more information, see [Configure the date range for a visualization](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Osd32AfPgPofbX_3B392~A "Update the data time frame for individual visualizations on the Discovery Operations Monitor dashboard. By default, each visualization displays data from the last 7 days. You can extend the time frame up to 30 days, which is the maximum data retention period for this dashboard.").
