Create a serverless discovery schedule for Rubrik cluster discovery

Set up a dedicated discovery schedule for each Rubrik cluster (Brik) to identify cluster resources using a serverless pattern and credential alias.

Before you begin

• Verify the MID Server is set to Active and can reach the target Rubrik cluster.
• Create an alias for the basic authentication credential. For more information, see Create a basic authentication credential alias for Rubrik discovery.
• Obtain the IP address of one of the Rubrik nodes in the target cluster.

Role required: discovery_admin

About this task

Each Rubrik cluster (Brik) requires a separate serverless discovery schedule. Each schedule must include the IP address of one of the Rubrik nodes in that cluster, and the credential alias associated with the Rubrik basic authentication credential record.

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > Discovery > Discovery Schedules.
2. Create the discovery schedule record.
   1. Select New.
   2. On the form, fill in the fields.

      Table 1. Discovery Schedule form

      Field	Description
      Name	Unique name for this discovery schedule. For example, Discover Rubrik.
      Discover	Scan type. Select Serverless.
      MID server	Name of the MID Server to use for this schedule.
      Active	When selected, activates this schedule for discovery runs.

   3. Select Submit.
3. Create the execution pattern.
   1. In the Discovery Schedules page, select the record you created.
   2. In the Serverless Execution Patterns tab, select New.
   3. On the form, fill in the fields.

      Table 2. Serverless Execution Pattern form

      Field	Description
      Name	Descriptive name for this record.
      Pattern	Pattern to use for this schedule. Select the Rubrik cluster (LP) pattern.
      Run Child Patterns	Set to true for each Rubrik discovery pattern. All child patterns associated with the Rubrik discovery pattern run automatically, as required by the Large Payload (LP) mechanism used to discover the Rubrik cluster and all corresponding CI types.
      Active	When selected, activates this schedule for discovery runs.

   4. Select Submit.
4. Set the pattern launcher parameters.
   1. In the Discovery Pattern Launcher Parameters tab, select the record you created.
   2. On the form, fill in the fields.

      Table 3. Pattern launcher parameters

      Parameter	Value
      ip_address	IP address of one of the Rubrik nodes in the cluster.
      credential_alias	ID of the credential alias you created for the Rubrik Basic Auth credential record.

   3. Select Submit.

What to do next

Either execute discovery immediately by selecting Discover now or wait until the predefined schedule triggers the discovery.
