    Summary of Discovery Admin Workspace IP inventory

    The IP inventory page in the Discovery Admin Workspace centralizes management of IP addresses, ranges, networks, and range sets used by Discovery to scan your environment. It enables you to review existing IP data and add entries to Discovery range sets, streamlining IP management for discovery schedules.

    You can access the IP inventory page via Workspaces > Discovery Admin Workspace > Schedules > IP-based Discovery > View inventory or from the Discovery Admin Workspace Settings page. This feature is available starting with Discovery Admin Workspace version 1.19.0 and requires the Australia or Zurich Patch 8 (or later) release of the ServiceNow AI Platform.

    Key Features

    • Tabs for different IP data types: IP Address Lists, IP Ranges, IP Networks, Discovery Range Sets, and IPAM data.
    • Controls on each tab:
      • New: Create new IP data entries.
      • Add to Range Set: Map IP data to a discovery range set (except on Discovery Range Sets tab).
      • Refresh icon: Update displayed data.
      • Export: Download lists in Excel, CSV, JSON, or PDF formats or send by email.
      • More Actions: Customize columns and copy URL.

    Details on IP Data Tabs

    • IP Address Lists: Shows IP address lists containing IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (excluding IPv6 subnets or networks). IP addresses can belong to multiple lists, but duplicates are removed at discovery start for the same schedule.
    • IP Ranges: Displays IP ranges that can belong to only one range set. The Range Set column shows "Multiple" if used in multiple schedules. Selecting ranges enables the Add to Range Set option.
    • IP Networks: Shows IP networks with similar functionality as IP Ranges regarding range sets and adding to range sets.
    • Discovery Range Sets: Lists discovery range sets that can be associated with multiple discovery schedules. You cannot add range sets here since these records already represent range sets, but you can create new ones.
    • IPAM data: Contains IP schedule mapping (IPv6 addresses and IPv4 subnets mapped to auto-created discovery schedules) and Imported IPs (addresses and subnets imported from IPAM solutions). Editing or adding IP data in the Imported IPs section is not recommended to avoid data corruption.

    Practical Benefits for ServiceNow Customers

    • Centralized visibility and management of all IP-related data Discovery uses for network scanning.
    • Efficient organization of IP addresses, ranges, and networks into range sets for use in multiple discovery schedules.
    • Ability to export IP inventory data for reporting or auditing purposes.
    • Integration with IPAM solutions to incorporate imported IP data, while safeguarding data integrity by restricting manual edits.
    • Flexible IP data management with options to create, map, and refresh IP data directly within the workspace.

    The IP inventory page centralizes the IP addresses, ranges, networks, and range sets that Discovery uses to scan your environment. Use it to review existing IP data and add entries to Discovery range sets.

    To access the IP inventory page, navigate to Workspaces > Discovery Admin Workspace > Schedules > IP-based Discovery > View inventory.

    You can also access the IP inventory page from the Discovery Admin Workspace Settings page.

    Note:
    The IP inventory page is available starting with Discovery Admin Workspace v1.19.0 and requires the Australia, Zurich Patch 8, or later release of the ServiceNow AI Platform.

    Key features

    Each tab displays a list of IP data with the following controls:
    • New: Create IP data. For more information, see Add IP data.
    • Add to Range Set: Map IP data to a range set. For more information, see Add IP data to a range set.
    • Refresh icon: Update the data
    • Export: Download the list as Excel, CSV, JSON, or PDF, or send it by email.
    • More Actions icon: Add or remove columns or coy the URL.

    The following sections describe the IP data on each tab.

    IP Address Lists

    The IP Address Lists tab displays your IP address lists, grouped by list. A list can contain both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, but not IPv6 subnets or networks. An IP address can belong to more than one list. Discovery removes duplicate addresses at the start of a discovery when the lists are on the same schedule.

    IP Address Lists tab in IP inventory

    An IP address list requires a name. The Name column is hidden by default because existing records may not have a name. To add the Name column to the table, select the More Actions icon () and select Personalize fields.

    IP Ranges

    The IP Ranges tab displays your IP ranges. If an IP range belongs to a range set used in multiple Discovery schedules, the Range Set column displays a Multiple label.

    IP Ranges tab in IP inventory

    Select one or more IP ranges from the table to enable the Add to Range Set option. For more information, see Add IP data to a range set.
    Note:
    An IP range can belong to only one range set.
    IP Networks

    The IP Networks tab displays your IP networks.

    IP Networks tab in IP inventory

    Select one or more IP ranges from the table to enable the Add to Range Set option. For more information, see Add IP data to a range set.
    Note:
    An IP range can belong to only one range set.
    Discovery Range Sets
    The Discovery Range Sets tab displays your discovery range sets. A range set can be associated with one or more Discovery schedules.

    Discovery Range Sets tab in IP inventory

    This tab doesn't include the Add to Range Set action, because the records are already range sets. Select New to create a range set.

    IPAM data
    The IPAM data tab contains the IP schedule mapping and Imported IPs sections.

    The IP schedule mapping section contains the IPv6 addresses and IPv4 subnets tabs, which display the IPv6 addresses and IPv4 subnets that are mapped to auto-created Discovery schedules.

    The Imported IPs section contains the IP addresses and IP subnets tabs. These tabs display the IP addresses and IP subnets imported from your IPAM solutions.

    Warning:
    To avoid data corruption, don't edit or add IP data in the Imported IPs table.
