Manage Discovery Agents

Monitor and configure discovery agents from a single page to keep asset data current and your Configuration Management Database (CMDB) synchronized. Review installed agents, set how often they report, and uninstall agents that are no longer required.

Required Editions

Available in: Lightning Experience
Available in: Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited Editions with Agentforce IT Service that have Discovery enabled.

The following table describes the key features available to manage agents:

Feature Description
Agents List Shows all devices where discovery agents are installed. Includes details such as host name, operating system, version, last scanned time, last check-in, and status. Use this list to monitor connected agents and verify installation status across environments.
Agent Settings Configure how often discovery agents scan and send updates to CMDB. Use this option to adjust scan frequency based on how frequently your assets change. Shorter intervals provide near real-time updates whereas longer intervals reduce network load.
