Step 2: Assign a Job to the Adapter
Each adapter has one or more associated jobs that define the execution policy. Jobs enable scheduling the same adapter differently over different sets of Triggered CIs and also enable supplying different parameters for each set.
The jobs appear in the Discovery Modules tree, and this is the entity that the user activates, as shown in the picture below
Choose a Trigger TQL
Each job is associated with Trigger TQLs. These Trigger TQLs publish results that are used as Input Trigger CIs for the adapter of this job.
A Trigger TQL can add constraints to an Input TQL. For example, if an input TQL's results are IPs connected to SNMP, a trigger TQL's results can be IPs connected to SNMP within the range 195.0.0.0-195.0.0.10.
Note A trigger TQL must refer to the same objects that the input TQL refers to. For example, if an input TQL queries for IPs running SNMP, you cannot define a trigger TQL (for the same job) to query for IPs connected to a host, because some of the IPs may not be connected to an SNMP object, as required by the input TQL.
Set Scheduling Information
The scheduling information for the Probe specifies when to run the code on Trigger CIs. If the Invoke on new triggered CIs Immediately check box is selected, the code also runs once on each Trigger CI when it reaches the Probe, regardless of future schedule settings.
For each scheduled occurrence for each job, the Probe runs the code against all Trigger CIs accumulated for that job. For details, see Discovery Scheduler Dialog Box.
Override Adapter Parameters
When configuring a job you can override the adapter parameters. For details, see Override Adapter Parameters.
