What is the primary purpose of using the Discovery dashboard?

The primary purpose of using the Discovery dashboard is to monitor ongoing Discovery operations. This dashboard provides a real-time view of the Discovery process, allowing users to see current scanning activities, the status of various devices being discovered, and any issues that may arise during the scans. By having this centralized view, administrators can quickly identify any operational problems that need to be addressed and ensure that the Discovery processes are running smoothly.

While initiating new scans, configuring settings, and analyzing historical trends are important aspects of the Discovery process, they are not the central focus of the dashboard itself. The dashboard is fundamentally designed to deliver insights into what is currently happening with Discovery operations, making it an essential tool for effective monitoring and management of the Discovery environment.
