Discovery-Linux

As an alternative to inventory via the wizard, the autonomous discovery module can be used. This is executed directly on the Linux system and generates a result file, which is then imported into Docusnap via File Import.

General information about autonomous discovery modules, standard parameters, and importing result files can be found in the chapter Autonomous Discovery Modules.

The following modules are available for inventorying Linux systems:

• Discovery-Linux – For current distributions. This module is always up-to-date and should be used preferably.
• Discovery-Linux-Legacy – For older Linux distributions. No longer being developed, remains for existing implementations.

When executing, the -f parameter must be specified for the result file to be created.

./Discovery-Linux -f
