Overview of Cloud Asset Discovery

Comprehensive and accurate inventory of assets is crucial and necessary in today’s digital and hybrid environment. Whether IT assets live on-premises or in the cloud, it is important to have a single, unified view into the network and to continuously track, monitor, and update changes and status. To accomplish this, the Asset Discovery Expert (ADE) now provides the capability to discover cloud assets in Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Amazon Web Services (AWS).

 

Discovery can be triggered from within the web portal or can be scheduled to run at regular intervals using the windows scheduler. The discovered Assets/CIs and their details are imported into CMDB and made available for integration with other applications via Webhooks.

Note: It is important that the service has access to the internet to connect and retrieve asset information.
