Server Discovery

Question

Greetings,

I need assistance discovering 10 servers that were installed last year. Some of the servers have multiple IP addresses. I see the IP addresses in IPAM, status = used. Trying to figure out how to associate the IP's with the associated server, and discover them in NPM.  Any suggestions?

@dbradley1 Well, we definitely need a path to the server(s) ip addresses.

If you can ping the server from your Orion Server then you should be able to discovery via ICMP.

If not, you may need to look on the server for hips products that is denying the request.

If not, you may need to get with your Network folks to see if the Control Plane configuration is blocking you from the Orion Server.

Then there are always firewalls, but I am sure you cleared that only already.
