The ITSI entities discovery is a fully automated process that will discover and properly configure your entities in ITSI depending on the data availability in Splunk.
Entities automatic import¶
In a nutshell, the following reports are automatically scheduled:
- DA-ITSI-TELEGRAF-OS-Inventory_Search_linux
