Search Query
This parameter defines the TPL (Tideway Pattern Language) query to execute against the BMC Discovery search endpoint. The query determines which data is retrieved from the BMC Discovery instance.

Type |
String (multi-line) |
Default Value |
n/a |
Example Values |
search Host where os_type = "Windows" |
Page Size
This parameter controls the number of items retrieved per API request. The connector automatically issues additional requests to collect all results when the total number of matching records exceeds this value.

Default Value |
1000 |
Example Values |
1000 |
It is recommended to adjust this value only if there are performance issues or API limitations in your environment. A larger page size reduces the number of requests but increases the memory and processing time required per request.
Request Timeout
This parameter sets the maximum number of seconds to wait for a response from the BMC Discovery API before the request is considered failed.

Maximum Retries
This parameter defines the maximum number of times a failed API request is retried before the connector reports an error. Failed requests are retried with exponential backoff based on the configured retry delay.

Default Value |
3 |
Example Values |

Retry Delay
This parameter sets the base delay in seconds between retry attempts. Each subsequent retry applies exponential backoff, multiplying the base delay by a factor of two for each attempt.
Technical Name |
RETRY_DELAY |

Type |
Integer |
Default Value |
5 |
Example Values |
5 |

Be aware: The actual wait time between retries grows with each attempt: first retry waits the configured base delay, second retry waits twice the base delay, and so on. Adjust this value if the BMC Discovery instance requires additional recovery time after a failed request. |
