Run the check detection scan to automatically add checks

You can run the check detection scan to automatically add applicable checks to devices instead of applying a monitoring template. The check runs the default check discovery scan and automatically adds or replaces the Standard checks and supported product checks for the device type.

When a check is replaced, its settings are overwritten and all technical and client-facing notes are removed.

Checks are only added to servers and workstations capable of supporting that check. For example, a Windows check cannot be added to a Mac workstation, and a Mac monitoring template cannot be applied to a Windows computer.

1. To run the scan for a client or site:
   1. In the Client List of the All Devices view, right-click a client or site.
   2. Select Apply Monitoring Template.
   3. In the Apply Monitoring Template dialog, select the type of devices to update: servers or workstations.
2. To run the scan for devices:
   1. In the Servers or Workstations tab of the All Devices view, select one of more devices (Shift and left-click for a range, Control and left-click for specific devices).
   2. Right-click one of the devices and select Monitoring Templates > Apply Monitoring Template.
3. Choose Run the check detection scan to automatically add applicable checks.

   

4. Select Apply.
5. Review the confirmation prompt about removing and replacing checks and their notes.
6. Confirm and then select OK.
