Hi Mats,

I'd say your interpretation is not what (in my humble opinion) the meaning of this setting is.

There is actually a field "DiscoverySiteName" in several tables in the SnowInventory and in two tables in the SnowLicenseManagerDatabase.

And this is exactly what I would have expected.

If you have access to the database, you will see the tables with this column by executing the following queries:

SELECT Table_Name, Column_Name

FROM SnowInventory.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS

WHERE Column_Name LIKE 'DiscoverySite%'

ORDER BY TABLE_NAME

SELECT Table_Name, Column_Name

FROM SnowLicenseManager.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS

WHERE Column_Name LIKE 'DiscoverySite%'

ORDER BY TABLE_NAME

Please keep in mind, that if the sitename changed depending on the client reporting to the gateway or the master server, the default behaviour would be to create a new computer in the database. This is clearly not what I'd like to see, when I for example work from home and my computer reports to the Service Gateway.

Unfortunately, I haven't seen any option to present this "DiscoverySiteName" in the SLM Web UI. Maybe there is a report that I haven't checked, but I'd expect that "All Computers" should optionally show this column.

So it's possible that you will have to create a custom report to show the information required.

Kind regards,

Axel

Hi Mats,

You can use a SIS Service Gateways for several purposes.

It is also possible to configure Active Directory Discovery for Computers and Users.

AD Discovery for computers helps to find not inventoried computers.

In Snow License Manager you have a report "Discovered Assets that are not inventoried". In this report you can also add column "Site".

This then shows the Discovery Site you configured in your Service Gateway.

So you have an idea, where the discovered (not inventoried) computer comes from.

Hope that may help you.

Thank you both Axel and Carolai for your answers.

I think I understand how it works now.

Thanks
