Start the whole process with dynamic discovery of servers and operating systems. Given a range of IP addresses and credentials, the ScienceLogic integrated solution kicks off automated discovery sessions, scheduled and on-demand, to begin modeling the physical and virtual servers running on the network.

Going far beyond auto-discovery, ScienceLogic offers dynamic discovery,  an intelligent process that identifies the server make, manufacture, model, and what is running on the server (OS, application, database, etc.), and then automatically applies the correct management template.
