Monitoring discovery status

You can view discovery status messages to understand the status and progress of the discovery. You can also configure your own discovery events.

Discovery events
Discovery events are created during the discovery process. They show the progress of agents, stitchers, and finders. These events are sent to and stored in Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus and can be viewed using the Web GUI.

NCIM entity ID retrieval failure
If a discovery event appears in the Event Viewer with the description "The retrieval of an entity ID from NCIM for a certain entity failed", then the NCIM database might be down. This will cause a mismatch between the entity IDs in NCIM and in the embedded discovery database DNCIM; that is, NCIM and DNCIM will have a different set of entity IDs for the same network entities.
