shinken-discovery(8)

shinken-discovery8

Shinken discovery daemon

Usage

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

Overview

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.
