ClosedDiscovery Flow

  1. The discovery job triggers on the IP address.

  2. The discovery obtains the list of credentials applicable to that IP address.

  3. The discovery uses each credential and tries to connect to the destination by composing a URL using the above-mentioned IP address, taking the port/protocol from the credential entry.

  4. If the connection is successful, it determines whether the connected server is an ESX server or a vCenter server.

  5. The job reports the discovered servers.
