ip	String	An IP address, or a comma-separated list of IP addresses.
sensor	String	The discovery sensor

표 2. Returns

Type	Description

StartDiscovery - discoverFromSchedule(String ip, Boolean samePhase, String sensor)

Handles discovery of devices (whether basic or advanced) from a schedule.

표 3. Parameters

StartDiscovery - getCancelScript()

Returns the cancel script.

표 5. Parameters

Name	Type	Description
None

표 6. Returns

Type	Description

StartDiscovery - scheduleCancelJob()

If the schedule specifies a cancel time, if necessary, schedules a job to cancel the discovery.

표 7. Parameters

Name	Type	Description
None

표 8. Returns

Type	Description
void

The following example shows how to use the scheduleCancelJob() method to cancel a current discovery job.

var discoveryScheduleGR = new GlideRecord('discovery_schedule'); // Create a discovery schedule Gliderecord
discoveryScheduleGR.get('name', 'Disco'); // Put the discovery schedule job name

var discoverySchedule = new DiscoverySchedule(discoveryScheduleGR); 
var discoveryStatusSysId = new StartDiscovery().startFromIP(discoverySchedule, '172.167.31.231'); // Initiate discovery
gs.info(discoveryStatusSysId); // Display the sys_id of the discovery status record

discoveryStatusSysId.scheduleCancelJob(); // Schedule a cancel job, located in the sys_trigger table

Output:

Operation	Table		Row Count
insert		discovery_result	1
update		discovery_status	1
insert		sys_trigger	     1
insert		discovery_status	1
*** Script: Fired started event for: undefined Disco
*** Script: Scheduling Discovery DIS0010023 for cancellation at 2022-02-13 16:42:44

StartDiscovery - startFromIP(DiscoverySchedule schedule, String ip)

Starts a discovery for a single IP using the specified schedule to get information such as MID servers and behaviors.

표 9. Parameters

Name	Type	Description
schedule	DiscoverySchedule	DiscoverySchedule instance for the schedule to use.
ip	String	IP address to discover. Format: dot-formatted string

표 10. Returns

Type	Description
String	Sys_id of the status record created.

This example uses the startFromIP() method to obtain the record that contains the discover information.

// Get a discovery schedule gliderecord
var discoveryScheduleGR = new GlideRecord('discovery_schedule'); 
discoveryScheduleGR.get('name', 'Discover Management Range 172.x.x.x');

// Create a DiscoverySchedule object to get information such as MID servers and behaviors
var discoverySchedule = new DiscoverySchedule(discoveryScheduleGR); 
var discoveryStatusSysId = new StartDiscovery().startFromIP(discoverySchedule, '172.1.1.10');
 
// Sys_id of the genterated status record
gs.info(discoveryStatusSysId);

Output:
