What Generates Smart Targets?
vScope has built-in intelligence to optimize Discovery coverage through the use of Smart Targets. When vScope discovers assets, it identifies related systems and classifies them as potential targets for specific platforms. By automatically generating these Smart Targets, vScope broadens inventory scope without requiring additional manual input.
Data Sources and/or Protocols and Their Smart Target Capabilities
Each data source or protocol in vScope can generate Smart Targets, enabling vScope to find additional resources within your environment:
| Data Source/Protocol | Generates Smart Targets For |
|---|---|
| VMware | WMI, SSH, Certificates |
| WMI | MS SQL, Certificates |
| SSH | MS SQL, Docker, Certificates |
| MS SQL | Additional MS SQL instances |
| Microsoft Azure | Windows (requires Public IP) |
| LDAP | WMI |
Using these Smart Targets, vScope can expand discovery coverage across multiple platforms and protocols, enhancing the automation and efficiency of the inventory process.
