device.rescan

Performs a one time test parameter rediscovery against the specified device(s).

device.rescan deviceName=<wildcard>|deviceSerial=<value>
  [, testType={snmp,wmi,jmx,vmware,...}] 
  [, rediscoveryNewTestsAction=<logOnly|updateAndLog|ignore>]
  [, rediscoveryUpdatedTestsAction=<logOnly|updateAndLog|ignore>]
  [, rediscoveryDeletedTestsAction=<logOnly|suspendAndLog|updateAndLog|ignore>]

deviceName is the only required parameter. Supports matching multiple devices. Alternatively deviceSerial can be used but can only specify a single device.

The testType parameter specifies multiple monitor types that support test discovery, separated by commas.

The last three parameters indicate what action to take when changes are detected in response to the scan. The defaults for these parameters are ignore, updateAndLog and suspendAndLog respectively. Add an entry in the audit log when the command is issued. The response of this command indicates whether it is syntactically correct. The test is queued correctly with a 201 response code.
