Infrastructure Discovery (Discover > Infrastructure Discovery) involves identification of the presence and use of resources in an organization. This component applies only to the IaaS cloud applications. Each application includes its own list of resources that can be extracted and displayed.

The Infrastructure Discovery page shows the resources available for each IaaS cloud (one tab for each cloud).

At the left of each tab is a list of accounts, regions, and resource groups. You can select and deselect items from each list to filter the display.

The resource icons at the upper part of the page represent the resource type and the number of resources for each type. When you click a resource icon, the system extracts a filtered list for that resource type. You can select multiple resource types.

The table at the lower part of the page lists each resource, showing the resource name, resource ID, resource type, account name, associated region, and the dates on which the resource was first and last observed.

The First Observed and Last Observed timestamps help to identify when the resource was first added, and the date it was last seen. If a resource timestamp shows that it has not been observed for a long time, that could indicate that the resource was deleted. When resources are pulled, the Last Observed timestamp is updated — or, if a resource is new, a new row is added to the table with a First Observed timestamp.

To display additional details for a resource, click the binocular icon at the left.

To search for a resource, enter search characters in the Search field above the resource table.
