    • Discovery performed by Agent Client Collector for Visibility - Content (ACC-VC) is compatible and can coexist with horizontal IP-based Discovery. You may have ACC installed on a given target host and still have that host as part of a horizontal IP-based Discovery schedule as well.

    To perform Discovery by Agent Client Collector for Visibility - Content, enable the glide.discovery.domain.name.nbt and glide.discovery.enable.software_simplify parameters. For details on these parameters, see Discovery properties.

    To enable Discovery using Agent Client Collector, enable the following Discovery properties on the Discovery properties page (All > Discovery Definition > Properties):
    Table 1. Agent Client Collector Discovery properties
    Field Description
    glide.discovery.domain.name.nbt Set OS domain name by NBT or WMI. If set to true, Windows domain name is set by NBT. Otherwise it’s set by WMI.
    • Type: true | false
    • Default value: true
    glide.discovery.enable.software_simplify Enables cleanup for software’s name and version. If set to true, it removes any appended version or commonly found phrases from the name and removes leading 0s in the version. If set to false, raw data is persisted in the table. Use with the glide.discovery.enable.software_simplify_sccm property to avoid software data discrepancy between Discovery and SCCM.
    • Type: true | false
    • Default value: true
    Note:
    Once the property is set to false, to disable the cleanup, duplicate records are generated for a given software. Name and Version are the primary identifiers.
