Accessible via Workspaces \> Discovery Admin Workspace \> Schedules, this interface provides a unified view to track Discovery performance, manage schedule statuses, and create new Discovery schedules efficiently. These capabilities are available starting with Discovery Admin Workspace version 1.19.0, with certificate discovery introduced in version 1.20.0. Show full answer Show less ## Key Features * **Quick Discovery Option:** Allows rapid execution of IP-based Discovery by selecting IP ranges, MID Server, and running the process within a single interface accessible from any tab. * **New Discovery Option:** Enables creation of new schedules with choice among IP-based, Cloud, or Certificate Discovery methods, streamlining resource discovery setup. * **Overview Tab Visualizations:** Offers data-driven insights with indicators and charts to monitor active schedules, completion without anomalies, schedule trends, geographic distribution, anomalous schedules, and error categorization. Anomaly detection must be enabled to view related data. * **IP-based Discovery Tab:** Provides centralized monitoring and management of IP-based Discovery schedules, including coverage analysis and integration with IPv6 IPAM. Supports activation of auto-created schedules from IPAM data and access to IP inventory management. * **Cloud Discovery Tab:** Presents all cloud-based Discovery schedules with detailed views and update capabilities for schedule parameters. * **Certificate Discovery Tab:** Centralizes monitoring and management of certificate Discovery schedules, showing items requiring attention and linking to diagnostics and certificate management workspaces. Supports certificate collection via port scans or URL scans, requiring Discovery Admin Workspace v1.20.0 and later platform releases. * **Discovery Status Tab:** Displays real-time status of scheduled Discoveries with options to drill into detailed status information. ## Practical Benefits for ServiceNow Customers * Streamlines Discovery schedule management across IP-based, Cloud, and Certificate methods in a single workspace. * Enhances operational visibility through visual analytics and anomaly detection, facilitating proactive issue resolution. * Simplifies scheduling and activation workflows, including integration with IPAM for IPv6 environments. * Supports efficient troubleshooting with direct access to diagnostic tools and certificate management resources. * Enables quick Discovery execution to accelerate asset and resource identification. ## Next Steps ServiceNow customers can create or update Discovery schedules for various environments directly within the workspace, including IP-based, Alibaba Cloud, AWS, Azure, GCP, IBM, OCI, OpenStack, oVirt, and VMware. Detailed guidance and task workflows are available within the Discovery Admin Workspace documentation. The Schedules page provides a single place to monitor Discovery performance, efficiently manage schedules and statuses, and set up new IP-based or Cloud Discovery schedules. To access the Discovery Admin Workspace Schedules page, navigate to WorkspacesDiscovery Admin WorkspaceSchedules. Note: The capabilities described here are available starting with Discovery Admin Workspace v1.19.0. Specific version requirements are noted for individual features where applicable. ## Key features {#discovery-admin-workspace-schedules__section_dlb_hzm_5bc} Quick Discovery option : Enables you to perform an IP-based discovery in just a few steps. You can select an IP range, choose the MID selection method, pick the MID Server, and run the discovery all within one interface. This option is available from any tab on the Schedules page. New Discovery option : Enables you to choose how you want to discover your resources, either through IP-based or Cloud-based discovery. This option is available from any tab on the Schedules page. Enables you to choose how you want to discover your resources, through IP-based, Cloud, or Certificate discovery. This option is available from any tab on the Schedules page. Note: Certificate discovery is available in Discovery Admin Workspace starting with v1.20.0 and requires the Brazil, Australia, or Zurich release starting with patch 8. Overview tab : The Schedules overview section enables you to make data-driven decisions through powerful visualizations. Note: You can configure the time scale reflected in the displayed counts on the [Settings](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/oIyIPo_MBQKGNGgB0fzRbw "The Settings page enables you to customize and manage high-level Discovery properties so they’re tailored to meet your specific needs.") page. Select the More Options icon (![]()), then select Refresh to refresh the data for each visualization in this section. {#discovery-admin-workspace-schedules__table_cb2_yjv_fsb__entry__3} | Report title | Type | Description | |-|-|-| | Active schedules | Indicator | Displays the total number of IP-based and Cloud Discovery schedules that are configured and enabled to run on a recurring basis. | | Schedules completed without anomalies | Indicator | Displays the number of IP-based and Cloud Discovery schedules that were completed without anomalies in a certain time period.

If anomaly detection is turned off, select Turn on to be redirected to the [Settings](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/oIyIPo_MBQKGNGgB0fzRbw "The Settings page enables you to customize and manage high-level Discovery properties so they’re tailored to meet your specific needs.") page. | | X day schedule trends | Line chart | Displays Discovery schedule trends over a certain time period. Schedules that failed to run are marked as critical anomalies. Schedules that have a low CI discovery rate are marked as major anomalies. Schedules that have a long run time or have a high error count are marked as minor anomalies. The timeline displays events that occurred during the schedule. Use the magnifying glass icon ( ![magnifying glass icon]()) or scroll to zoom in on the timeline and hover over the indicator to expose event details. You can toggle event indicators on and off using the Show legend feature. Select View discovery status to view the status of all scheduled IP-based and Cloud discoveries. Select View anomalies to view anomalous schedules. | | Schedules by location | Map | Displays Discovery schedules by location. Select an area of the map to view Discovery schedules in the region selected. | | Schedules with anomalies | Bar chart | Displays Discovery schedules with anomalies detected in a certain time period, indicating the schedules that failed, had a low CI discovery rate, had increased error counts, or had long run times. Select the number or View all to view the anomalous schedules. Important: This count only displays when anomaly detection is turned on. For more information, see [Discovery Admin Workspace Settings](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/oIyIPo_MBQKGNGgB0fzRbw "The Settings page enables you to customize and manage high-level Discovery properties so they’re tailored to meet your specific needs."). | | Errors by category | Donut chart | Displays the count of all Discovery errors by category.

Data visualizations] {#discovery-admin-workspace-schedules__table_cb2_yjv_fsb} IP-based discovery tab : Provides a centralized view for monitoring and managing IP‑based Discovery schedules and coverage. Depending on your IPv6 IP Address Management (IPAM) integration, items that require attention are displayed. These items include IPs not covered by Discovery schedules and schedules that were auto-created from IPAM that require activation. Select Review missing coverage to access the [CMDB Coverage](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=cmdb-coverage&version=australia&pubname=australia-servicenow-platform&ft:locale=en-US) page where you can view coverage analysis results and create Discovery schedules from IP Ranges.
