2.10 Discovering SharePoint Resources

Use the Discovery_SharePoint Knowledge Script to discover configuration and resource information for SharePoint Servers. The Discovery_SharePoint script also tracks, displays, and provides various alerts about SharePoint services.

If you are running Microsoft SharePoint Server on multiple servers as part of your SharePoint server farm, run Discovery_SharePoint on each server in the farm. Each server from the farm is displayed individually, not as a group, in the Control Center Navigation pane and the Operator Console TreeView.

To ensure the functionality of the SiteUsage and WebPagePerf Knowledge Scripts, enable SharePoint logging so that log files are created. For more information, see Section 2.5.2, Enabling Usage Logging.

By default, this script runs once for each computer.

NOTE:Run this script on a scheduled basis to discover new SharePoint resources, such as Web applications.

Set the Values tab parameters as needed.
