Use the Main > Policy Management > Discovery Policies > Network Discovery Tasks page in the Data Security module of the Security Manager to configure discovery on your network machines. The page displays all of the network discovery tasks that have been established to date.
Network discovery is performed on:
*
A hostname, if it is supplied
*
An FQDN, if there is no hostname
*
An IP address, if there is no hostname or FQDN
The crawler uses the first of these that it finds.
To add a new network task, click New, then select the type of task to create from the menu. The types include:
*
File Discovery

Important 
As a best practice, run discovery tasks only on directories that are protected by an antivirus application and found to be clean. Running discovery tasks on files not known to be clean can lead to unexpected results, such as a suspension or termination of the discovery tasks by the antivirus process. Running discovery tasks on files that were never scanned by an antivirus application can lead to a propagation of malware and viruses.
