Discovery Guide

Discovery keeps the registry aligned with real-world infrastructure. Use Mapper for SNMP discovery and Sync for external inventory sources.

Mapper Overview​

  • SNMP-first discovery engine with scheduled jobs.
  • Runs inside serviceradar-agent and is configured via Settings → Networks → Discovery.
  • Writes interface observations into discovered_interfaces (timeseries, 3-day retention) and topology into mapper_topology_links (then projects into the AGE graph).

Discovery Types​

  • Mapper SNMP Discovery – populates inventory, interfaces, and topology.
  • Inventory Imports – feed NetBox/CMDB sources through embedded Sync.
  • Sweep Jobs – use Sync + Mapper for sweep-style coverage.

Getting Started​

  1. Configure integrations in the UI.
  2. Onboard a sync-capable agent.
  3. Verify updates flow through DIRE into inventory.
