Discovery Teams
A discovery team is a pool of managed endpoints configured as members of a team. The team is used for the distributed searching of managed and unmanaged endpoints. The advantage of using a discovery team to perform searches is the searches are split up between the available members of the team so as a team member becomes available it is be used to perform the search until all endpoints are searched. To determine the endpoints to be searched, the Console looks at the Endpoints, Remote Machines list, and Custom Folders list of the policy.
You can create multiple teams and assign each team to different endpoints or tags so those managed endpoints are used when searching the targets.
Any Discovery Teams you create display here.
The Discovery Teams page consists of three components:
- The Ribbon group: Used to create, edit, manage and organize the roles.
- The Discovery Teams List: Displays the discovery teams created.
- The Discovery Teams View: Displays two distinct views of the discovery: edit mode and view mode.
