Create an Enhanced Discovery Service

Create and run an Enhanced Discovery service to perform certificate discoveries inside of your company's network. You can schedule Enhanced Discovery services to run according to a fixed schedule, or run your service immediately and anytime you need to.

Enhanced Discovery takes advantage of Venafi's VSatellites to extend the reach of your Next-Gen Trust Security account beyond public networks to discover certificates within your on-premise/private networks and machines.

This discovery service validates discovered certificates automatically.

Before You Begin

Permissions: You must have the Superuser role in the parent TSG. Discovery services are parent TSG resources and can only be created and configured by parent TSG users.
VSatellite: Make sure you have a healthy VSatellite ready for use with your new discovery service. VSatellite helps you discover certificates on endpoints in your private network using either a schedule or by running your enhanced discovery service manually.

To Create an Enhanced Discovery Service

Sign in to Next-Gen Trust Security.
Click Configuration > Network Discovery.
Click New > Enhanced discovery and follow the remaining prompts.
When prompted to select a VSatellite, choose a primary VSatellite that is part of a high availability (HA) group if you want this service to benefit from HA. The system will automatically use any healthy VSatellite in the group to initiate future discovery operations. Learn more

After your new service is created, you can choose to run it immediately.
