Overview

The Locations page provides you an overview of the status of the data sources assigned Discover. Every data source is made up of a platform, connection (account used to access the platform), and location (the target directory). This information is displayed in the corresponding column on this page. The last column identifies the information for the last Discovery Scan run on the data source.

Searching Data Sources

The Search data sources field allows you to search the location to find specific data sources. This is useful if you have multiple data sources that may run over onto multiple pages. Type the information you want to use as your search criteria and press ENTER. Only the data sources with locations that meet your search criteria display. Use the X that appears to clear the field and reset the Locations grid.

Scanning a Data Source

Use the Scan now button to scan a specific data source. The scan information will identify how long the scan has been running so you can monitor the progress. Once a scan is running, the button will become a Stop button. You can use this button to stop the scan as needed.

Scanning Multiple Data Sources

You can also start scans for all data sources or multiple data sources from this page. To scan all data sources, click the Scan all now button next to the search.

To scan specific data sources, select the box that displays when you hover on the data source row. As you select data sources, the label for the Scan all now button will change to reflect the number of selected data sources. Once you select all the data sources you want to scan, click the Scan # data sources button.

Removing a Data Source

You can remove a data source from Discover if you no longer want it to be evaluated. Click the ellipses (…) at the end of the row and click Remove data source from the menu that displays.

Sorting the Grid

By default, the locations are listed in the order they were assigned to Discover. You can sort the locations based on any column in the grid. Clicking a column header will sort that column in ascending order. An up arrow will appear on the column to indicate the ascending sort order. Clicking the column header again will sort the column in descending order. A down arrow will appear on the column to indicate the descending sort order. Clicking the column header a third time will use the default sort order. The selected sort will persist until you change the sort order or select to sort a different column.
