Enable Asset Discovery and Inventory

To enable discovery of assets in your cloud account:

Procedure


Step 1

Navigate to Inventory > Inventory .

Step 2

Select the cloud account and click Manage Inventory.

Step 3

Select the Regions where you have cloud assets that you would wish Multicloud Defense to discover. The refresh interval is the time in minutes after which the inventory is refreshed (recommended default of 60 min). Multicloud Defense also performs continuous discovery using the cloud service provider's APIs and events instead of a regular poll. The refresh time interval specified here is for a full re-crawl; this reconciles all assets for any missed events during real time discovery.

Note that different refresh intervals can be defined for different regions by adding a new row and selecting the desired regions. A region can belong to a single refresh interval only.

Step 4

Click Save & Continue.

Note

The Multicloud Defense Controller will request the asset inventory for the newly added region immediately after saving.
