Test Parameter Rediscovery option allows you to configure Traverse to periodically validate the configuration parameters of existing SNMP and WMI tests.
When you enable Test Parameter Rediscovery, Traverse performs SNMP and/or WMI test discovery against the selected device on a periodic basis. Traverse compares the results of the discovery (the discovered tests) against existing tests and performs actions that you specify. The Test Parameter Rediscovery options allow you to specify the frequency discovery and determine the action to take after comparing tests.
Configuring Default Test Parameter Rediscovery Options
To enable Test Parameter Rediscovery for all current devices, as well as any newly created or discovered devices.
Navigate to Administration > Other > Test Parameter Rediscovery.
On the Update Default Test Parameter Rediscovery Setting page, check the Enable Test Parameter Rediscovery check box.
Specify the Rediscovery Frequency in days or hours. To ensure that devices are not scanned too frequently, the minimum allowed frequency is 12 hours.
Specify the actions you want Traverse to perform when it discovers new tests, updated test and deleted tests.
Action For New Tests
Add & Log:Traverse adds the new tests to the device(s) and notes the modification in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Traverse\logs\discovery.log.
Ignore:Traverse ignores discovered new tests for the device(s).
Log Only:Traverse only logs discovered new test information.
Action For Updated Tests
Update & Log:Traverse updates the existing tests executing against the device(s) and notes the modification in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Traverse\logs\discovery.log.
Ignore:Traverse ignores discovered updated tests for the device(s).
Log Only:Traverse only logs discovered updated test information.
Action For Deleted Tests
Delete & Log:Traverse deletes the test from the device(s) and notes the modification in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Traverse\logs\discovery.log.
Ignore:Traverse ignores discovered deleted tests for the device(s).
Log Only:Traverse only logs discovered deleted test information.
Select one or more application profiles to use during test parameter rediscovery. The application profile acts as a filter for the test types that Traverse rediscovers. See Application Profiles for more information.
Click Update Setting.
