Discovered/Created/Last Updated CIs Dialog Box

The Discovered CIs dialog box enables you to view all CI instances found for a selected query node.

The Created/Last Updated CIs dialog boxes enable you to view all CI instances that were created or updated during the last discovery run.

The Created by <Job> dialog box displays the CI instances created when running a selected job.

To access

These dialog boxes are accessible from various places in the Universal Discovery window, and all display information about discovered CI instances.

  • A job's Dependency Map tab. Right-click a CI, a job or a relationship. For more information, see Discovery Module/Jobs – Dependency Map Tab.

  • Discovery progress: Drill down to a CI and click Show additional data .
  • Discovery Results: Select a CI and click View Created/Updated Instances .
Important Information When viewing discovery results, the CI instances displayed are retrieved from the server when this dialog box opens. The number of CIs may differ from the number of CIs displayed in the Results pane because some created CIs may have been merged or deleted since they were created by the job.
