What does the Discovery Configuration Console allow customers to do?

The Discovery Configuration Console primarily enables customers to select which discovery data populates the Configuration Management Database (CMDB). This capability is essential since the CMDB is a critical repository for managing IT assets and their relationships. By using the console, customers can configure the types of data collected during the discovery process, ensuring that only relevant and necessary information is stored in the CMDB. This helps in maintaining data integrity and relevance, facilitating better asset management and decision-making.

In contrast, analyzing network performance data, monitoring security compliance, and generating reports on discovery efficiency, while valuable tasks, pertain more to different functionalities offered by other tools or modules within an IT service management framework rather than being core functions of the Discovery Configuration Console itself.
