Refreshing the details of the managed host

To refresh the discovery of the agent families on both managed agent and agentless hosts, you can use the Refresh Host(s) option.

You can also perform this task under the Host view in the Manage > Hosts view.

Note:

You can perform the Refresh Hosts task on one or more managed hosts at a time.

To refresh the details of a managed host

  1. Do one of the following

    • Select Manage > Hosts.

    • Select Settings > Host Management.

  2. In the table that lists the managed hosts, select the managed host that you want to refresh and do one of the following:
    • At the top of the table, click Actions > Refresh Host(s).

    • Right-click the managed host and from the submenu select the Refresh Host(s) option.

  3. In the wizard panel to confirm the refresh operation, click OK.

The refresh operation for agentless hosts is asynchronous. The wizard will display that the operation has triggered the refresh, but the discovery operation for the agentless host is actually in progress in the background. You must wait for the actual discovery to complete. When it is complete, you can view the status reflected in the Host State or Discovery State/Time columns in the Settings > Host Management table.
