How to check the key indexes of the discovery history information for a discovered device?

Question: For a discovered device, how should I check the key indexes of the discovery history information? For example, when was the device first discovered? When was it last seen?

To answer this question, let’s take a look at the information available from DDMi first:

Note: "N/A" indicates that there is no corresponding attribute in UD now.

To check similar information in UD,

  1. In UCMDB, go to Modeling > IT Universal Manager.
  2. In the CI Selector pane, go to the Search CIs tab.
  3. In the Simple search mode, search for a CI of Node CI type.

    1. In the CI Name field, enter a keyword to search, for example, 0528.
    2. For the CI Type field, click , locate and select the Node CI type.
    3. Click .
  4. Click the node CI in the search result list.

    The node CI map displays in the Related CIs pane.

  5. In the Filter Related CIs by CI Type sub-pane, locate and select Inventory Scannerand UDA CI types, then click Filter Related CIs.

    The Related CIs map refreshes.

  6. Click the uda or Inventory Scanner CI icon in the map.

    In the CI Details pane below the map, check attributes that correspond to DDMi parameters.

    The highlighted uda attributes in the screenshot below correspond to similar DDMi parameters.

    The highlighted Inventory Scanner CI attributes in the screenshot below correspond to similar DDMi parameters.
