How to manually discover resources in the UI?


Hi,


the SDK guide describes that when the adapter instance is set to manual discovery, I could select the resources from the UI.  How to do that exactly in the VR Ops UI? I wasn't quite able to find it.


Thanks!
Gary

By default, most MPs will create instances in auto-discovery mode. When you put them in to manual discovery mode, only 'existing' resources/objects will be collected upon and new resources will not blindly IMPORT.

So when you have a MP instance in manual discovery mode, you need to explicitly IMPORT objects/resources. This is done via the "eyeglass/looking glass" icon in the environment section's menu in the top bar above the object list panel.

If you find this or any other answer useful please mark the answer as correct or helpful.

Hi,

If I understood, you would like to manual add resource, that wasn't auto-discovered, right ?

you should go to Administration -> Environment Overview -> Add Object ("Plus" icon) and write in relevant details.

Good Luck
