In the right-hand pane:

• To add new connection details, click the Create new connection details for selected protocol type button.
• To remove an existing credential, click the Remove connection details for selected protocol type button.
• To edit an existing credential, click the Edit connection details for selected protocol type button.

• Data Flow Probe Setup Window

• <Protocol> Details Pane

• Supported Protocols in the Universal CMDB Discovery and Integrations Content Help.

• Network Scope. Opens the Scope Definition dialog box enabling you to define the network scope for the credential.

  • Selected Probes. Clicking the Edit button opens the Select Probes dialog box, where you select specific Probes/probe clusters whose IP range must be changed.

  • Selected Ranges.

    • All. Discovery runs on all ranges in the domain (default).

    • Selected Range. Enables you to select a specific range on which to run discovery. You can also define ranges to exclude from the range. For more details, see Ranges Pane below.

• User Label. The display name for the credential.

Enables you to define/edit the protocol attributes for the credential. The fields displayed are based on the protocol selected.

For details about the protocol attributes, see the section about the supported protocols in the Universal CMDB Discovery and Integrations Content Help.

• This pane is disabled when the selected Probe is contained within a probe cluster because the Probe's range is dynamically determined by the load balancing mechanism of the probe cluster.
• For details on searching for a specific range, see the Find Probe Range by IP button in Data Flow Probe Setup Window.

Delete IP Range. Select an IP range and click the button to delete a range from the list.

Edit IP Range. Opens the Edit IP Range dialog box, enabling you to edit the selected IP range for the selected Probe/probe cluster. For details, see New/Edit Range Dialog Box.

Export Data To File. Enables you to export the defined ranges in the following formats:

• Excel. The table data is formatted as an .xls (Excel) file that can be displayed in a spreadsheet.

• PDF. The table data is exported in PDF format.

• RTF. The table data is exported in Rich Text Format.

• CSV. The table data is formatted as a comma-separated values (CSV) text file that can be displayed in a spreadsheet.

  Note For the CSV formatted table data to display correctly, the comma (,) must be defined as the list separator in your Windows Control Panel.

• XML. The table data is formatted as an XML file that can be opened in a text or XML editor.

Import Ranges from CSV File. Opens the Import Ranges from File dialog box, enabling you to select a CSV file from which to import a set of ranges.

Before importing ranges, verify that:

• The imported file is a valid CSV file

  The CSV file must be built using the following names for the column headings:

  • Range. The range to import. This can be an IP range (IPv4 only) or in CIDR notation (IPv4/IPv6).

  • Excluded Ranges. The IP ranges to exclude from the imported range.

    Note The excluded range must be defined in the same format (IPv4/IPv6) as the full range.

    Important: See example below:

    • When defining an excluded IP range, always include the full range in the Ranges column as well.
    • When a range is defined in CIDR notation, the excluded ranges must be defined in the IP range format (<start_ip_address> – <end_ip_address>)

  • Description. A description of the range

  • Type. The range type: 1 = Client; 0 = Data Center

  Example

  

Show/Hide Legend. Shows/Hides the legend for the Ranges pane.

• . Denotes the range of IP addresses included for the selected Probe/probe cluster.
• . Denotes a range of IP addresses to exclude from the defined IP range.
