Using push-based Discovery and horizontal IP-based Discovery together

Discovery performed by Agent Client Collector for Visibility - Content (ACC-VC) is compatible and can coexist with horizontal IP-based Discovery. You may have ACC installed on a given target host and still have that host as part of a horizontal IP-based Discovery schedule as well.

To avoid conflicts, ACC-VC does not perform Discovery when the target host’s IP already has a CI that has been discovered by horizontal IP-based Discovery (discovery_source is ServiceNow). To override this behavior, set the system property [sn_agent.disco_disable_ci_clobber_of_agentless_disco] to false. This setting is ignored if horizontal IP-based Discovery was not performed over a specific time. Update the system property [sn_agent.disco_ci_clobber_of_agentless_disco_threshold_days] if necessary. The default is 14 days. See System properties for more details.

To enable Discovery using Agent Client Collector, enable the following Discovery properties on the Discovery properties page (All > Discovery Definition > Properties):

Table 1. Agent Client Collector Discovery properties

Field	Description
glide.discovery.domain.name.nbt	Set OS domain name by NBT or WMI. If set to true, Windows domain name is set by NBT. Otherwise it’s set by WMI. Type: true | false Default value: true
glide.discovery.enable.software_simplify	Enables cleanup for software’s name and version. If set to true, it removes any appended version or commonly found phrases from the name and removes leading 0s in the version. If set to false, raw data is persisted in the table. Use with the glide.discovery.enable.software_simplify_sccm property to avoid software data discrepancy between Discovery and SCCM. Type: true | false Default value: true Note: Once the property is set to false, to disable the cleanup, duplicate records are generated for a given software. Name and Version are the primary identifiers.
