2.5 Discovering AppManager Resources for Windows

Use the Discovery_AMHealth Knowledge Script to discover AppManager and Control Center resources installed on Windows servers. This Knowledge Script returns information about successful and failed discoveries, and it raises events to notify you of errors.

Run the Discovery_AMHealth script on computers with the one or more of the following AppManager components: AppManager repository (QDB), management server, Cache Manager, Command Queue Service (CQS), deployment service, AppManager managed client, Control Center repository (NQCCDB), and Task Scheduler service.

In a clustered environment, the Discovery_AMHealth script discovers only QDB and CCDB roles. For more information about the setup of the AMHealth Module’s AMHealth_QDBComponentsHealth Knowledge Script in a clustered environment, contact NetIQ Technical Support.

By default, this script is only run once for each computer.
