## Summary of Cloud Discovery home page in Cloud Discovery Workspace

The Cloud Discovery home page in the Cloud Discovery Workspace provides ServiceNow customers with a centralized dashboard summarizing discoveries triggered by scheduled cloud discovery runs.
It offers insights into configuration items (CIs) discovered, errors encountered, upcoming schedules, and resource credentials across cloud providers.
This enables cloud operations teams to monitor cloud asset discovery status and troubleshoot issues efficiently.

* **Upcoming Schedules:** List of up to eight upcoming scheduled discoveries with details accessible by selection.
* **Total Configuration Items:** Line and area chart tracking discovered CIs over time, with clickable records for detailed CI and multi-source data views.
* **Cloud Discovery Errors:** Line and area chart displaying errors over time, with links to detailed error logs in the Discovery log or Diagnostics section.
* **Credentials Indicator:** Shows total credentials defined, broken down by cloud provider, with filters to view matching credentials.

* **Cloud VMs by Datacenter:** Horizontal bar chart showing VM counts discovered per datacenter, specifically for Microsoft Azure, AWS, and vCenter environments.

## Practical Use

This dashboard enables cloud operations administrators to:

* Monitor discovery activity and status over time for better operational visibility.
* Identify and investigate discovery errors promptly to maintain accurate CMDB data.
* Manage and review credentials and service accounts across multiple cloud providers to ensure secure and effective discovery processes.
* Track cloud VM inventories by datacenter to support asset management and capacity planning.
* Access detailed discovery schedules and MID Server statuses to optimize discovery workflows.  
The Cloud Discovery home page displays a summary of the discoveries triggered through a discovery schedule. You can view the count of CIs discovered and errors encountered over time. You can also select any dashboard report to view additional information.
