Discoveries
The Discoveries page shows items found by scans that have not yet been added to your managed asset inventory. Each discovered item needs to be reviewed and either promoted to an asset or dismissed.
Discovery States
| State | Description |
|---|---|
| Pending | Awaiting review — no action taken yet |
| Promoted | Promoted to a managed asset (linked via promoted_asset_id) |
| Dismissed | Dismissed by a user — the device is added to a blocklist so future scans skip it |
Table Columns
- IP Address — Discovered IP
- Hostname — Detected hostname (if available)
- MAC Address — Hardware address (if detected)
- OS — Operating system fingerprint
- Ports — Count of open ports found
- Status — online / offline / unknown
- Scanner — Which scanner found this item
- Discovered — Timestamp of first discovery
Actions
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Search | Filter by IP, hostname, or MAC address |
| Promote | Navigate to the Promote Asset page to convert a discovery into a managed asset |
| Dismiss | Mark as dismissed — adds the device to the blocklist so it won’t appear again |
| Bulk Select | Use checkboxes + select-all to promote or dismiss multiple items at once |
| Clear All Pending | Delete all pending discoveries |
Dismissed Device Blocklist
When you dismiss a device, its IP and MAC address are saved to a blocklist. Future scans will automatically skip devices matching blocklist entries. Each dismissal records:
- The IP/MAC combination
- The reason for dismissal (optional)
- Which user dismissed it
Promote Asset
When you click Promote on a discovered item, you’re taken to the Promote Asset page. This converts the discovery into a fully managed asset.
