Network discovery can be used to build an initial list of hosts to monitor. It is done either through scanning for hosts by providing network mask, or by scanning hosts from host names list. By default, ICMP PING, SNMP, HTTP(S), FTP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP are used to detect active hosts.
The protocols list can be edited, to suite specific needs. Note that re-discovery is possible to schedule as an alternative to modifying the hosts list manually.
