Discover datacenters only for new cloud accounts

If you have multiple cloud accounts and datacenters in AWS and Azure, you can discover datacenters for new cloud accounts only, instead of refreshing the entire list.

Before you begin

• Verify that you're using at least Zurich Patch 2.
• Verify that the glide.discovery.cdu.auto_refresh_sub_accounts_and_ldcs system property is set to true. For more information, see Create Discovery schedules for cloud resources.

Role required: discovery_admin

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > System Properties > All Properties.
2. In the Name column, search for cloud.discovery.refresh_datacenter_for_new_member_account.
3. Select the cloud.discovery.refresh_datacenter_for_new_member_account property.
4. In the Value field, enter true.
5. Select Update.

What to do next

Either execute discovery immediately or wait until the predefined schedule triggers the discovery. For more information, see Create a discovery schedule in Cloud Discovery Workspace.
