NAME
shinken-discovery - Shinken discovery daemon
SYNOPSIS
shinken-discovery [-dr] [-c CONFIGFILE] [--debugfile DEBUGFILE]
DESCRIPTION
Shinken discovery command.
There are two discovery modules included:
- •
-
Standard network discovery which uses the nmap tool
- •
-
VMware discovery which uses the check_esx3.pl script and a vcenter installation.
It is best to do the whole discovery in one pass because one module can use data from the other.
