For a continuous inventory, it is recommended to frequently run discovery, inventory, and upload to keep the inventory data up to date.
If a network discovery is needed instead of or in addition to the Active Directory import then such a discovery should be run at different times during the day, to cover devices which are rarely active or not active during the whole day like workstations and desktop computers. For the same reason, device inventories should be run at different times too.
All inventory operations can be limited to a certain set of targets either based on an explicit list of targets or implicitly, by a regular expression which is matched against the target hostname / address / URL. The Oracle inventory operation also allows to set regular expressions for matching SIDs / service names and ports. If no regular expression is set for a Target definition by filter, then all available targets will be addressed by the inventory operation.
Uploads may be run on a weekly or monthly basis.
RayVentory Scan Engine’s built-in task scheduler enables automation of these operations. Each task may consist of an operation like upload, devices import, discovery, inventory, oracle discovery, or a sequence of these operations.
