Refreshing the details of the managed host

You can use the Management Server console to refresh the discovery of the agent families on both managed agent and agentless hosts. You can also perform this task in the Hosts details view in the Server perspective.

To refresh more than one managed host, press Ctrl as you select hosts from the list.

The refresh operation for agentless hosts is asynchronous. The wizard displays 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 State column if you are in the Server perspective. If you are in the Management Server perspective, click Host and view the status in the Discovery State column.

To perform this task in the Server perspective, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the host or the Server perspective. The permission on the host may be explicitly assigned or inherited from a parent Organization.

To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the Management Server perspective.
