SYNOPSIS

shinken-discovery [-dr] [-c CONFIGFILE] [--debugfile DEBUGFILE]

DESCRIPTION

Shinken discovery command.

There are two discovery modules included:

  • Standard network discovery which uses the nmap tool

  • VMware discovery which uses the check_esx3.pl script and a vcenter installation.

    It is best to do the whole discovery in one pass because one module can use data from the other.
