What is Solar Winds Discovery Service Needed for?

Does Solar Winds Discovery Service actually do anything that is required to use ipMonitor 9?

Yes, this service is used for initial node discovery and scans the network using a combination ICMP and SNMP.

I figured that but is it necessary once to keep it running once the inital installation is complete?

No, but if you attempt to re-scan, you'll need to start up the service again.

Thanks for the quick response - that's what I suspected but wasn't sure of...
