toptools User Guide Discovery Discovery is the process that toptools uses to find and identify devices on your network. As discovery locates and communicates with devices, it stores the information it retrieves in the toptools database, MEDS. Using the Settings - Discovery page, you can control, configure and monitor the discovery process, or add new devices for toptools to discover. Refer to the Utilities topic in the online help for alternate ways of adding devices to toptools. In addition, you can configure database 'aging'. 'Aging', or cleaning, determines how many cycles a device may be listed in MEDS, but not rediscovered before it is removed from the database. This prevents devices that have been removed from network from using toptools resources. For information about configuring the discovery process, refer to the online Help system, or read the Installation Procedure section of this User Guide. Auditing Auditing tracks the activities of the toptools server and console users and saves these activities to the Windows Event Application Log on the toptools server system. For example, if a Netserver executed an unplanned reboot, you may want to check the Audit Log (Windows Application Log) to determine if a console user had initiated the "Reboot" action against the Netserver. 53

Discovery
Discovery is the process that toptools uses to find and identify devices on your network.
As discovery locates and
communicates with devices, it stores the information it retrieves in the toptools database, MEDS.
Using the
Settings - Discovery
page, you can control, configure and monitor the discovery process, or add new
devices for toptools to discover.
Refer to the Utilities topic in the online help for alternate ways of adding devices to
toptools.
In addition, you can configure database ‘aging’. ‘Aging’, or cleaning, determines how many cycles a
device may be listed in MEDS, but not rediscovered before it is removed from the database.
This prevents devices
that have been removed from network from using toptools resources.
For information about configuring the discovery process, refer to the online Help system, or read the Installation
Procedure section of this User Guide.
Auditing
Auditing tracks the activities of the toptools server and console users and saves these activities to the Windows
Event Application Log on the toptools server system.
For example, if a Netserver executed an unplanned reboot, you may want to check the Audit Log (Windows
Application Log) to determine if a console user had initiated the “Reboot” action against the Netserver.
