Subprocess databases

The finders, Details, and agent databases are used during the discovery by the discovery engine subprocesses to store information retrieved from the network. The databases are defined within the configuration file, DiscoSchema.cfg.

The subprocess databases include:
  • The finders database, which is used by the finders to store information about device existence.
  • The Details database, which is used by the Details agent to store basic device information.
  • The discovery agent databases, which are created using a template.

The finders, Details and AssocAddress agents must always be run, so their databases are defined in the DiscoSchema.cfg configuration file. The databases for the rest of the discovery agents are created based on a template that is defined in the DiscoSchema.cfg configuration file.
