Discovery Results Tab/Pane

This tab/pane displays the discovery results from discovery job runs or from discovery activities that ran in Management Zones.

Search for	Example	Results
A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Search for	Operator	Example
Two or more words in the same topic	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`
A combination of search types	`( )` parentheses	`cat + (dog \| mouse)` `cat \| dog + (! mouse)`

Important Information

UCMDB includes a purging mechanism for managing old discovery result statistics. This mechanism enables faster display of discovery result statuses. That is, the old result records are merged and are therefore still available for the user. This feature is controlled by two system parameters:

appilog.collectors.ResetDiscoveryStatisticsIntervalHours.name=Reset Discovery Statistics Interval by Hours. This property defines the interval of merging discovery results (the interval for running the purging mechanism).
appilog.collectors.DiscoveryStatisticsArchiveDays.name=Discovery results statistics archive period. This property defines the number of days after which discovery results are archived (the number of days after which the statistics are considered old).
