Deploying discovery instances - BlueCat Edge - Service Point v4.x.x

Once you have created discovery configurations, you can assign them to a discovery instance. A discovery instance periodically discovers DNS data from the environments specified in the discovery configurations assigned to it, uploads a snapshot per configuration to the Edge Cloud, and updates associated discovered domain lists.

If you assign multiple discovery configurations to a discovery instance, DNS data periodically discovered by these instances are done so in parallel. This provides a higher level of fault tolerance; however, this can cause additional resource constraints on the environment where the discovery is performed.

To deploy the discovery instance

1. In the top navigation bar, click and select Discovery service > Instances.
2. To add a new discovery instance, click New.
3. Enter the name of the discovery instance.
4. Select the name of a Service Point v4 that will pull the discovery configuration. After you have saved your selection, the service points appear below the Service point field.
5. Select the Service version that you would like to deploy.
6. Under Discovery configurations, select one or more discovery configurations that will be used by the discovery instance.
7. Click Deploy.
