# Create an oVirt Discovery schedule in Discovery Admin Workspace

Use the Discovery Admin Workspace dashboard to create an oVirt Discovery schedule.

## Before you begin

Verify the following:

-   You have at least one validated MID Server with a status of **Up**. The MID Server must reach the IP ranges that you intend to discover. You can install the MID Server by using [Use MID Server guided setup](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/servicenow-platform/use-mid-server-guidedsetup.md) or by manually downloading and running the installer. For details, see the MID Server installation instructions for [Linux](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/servicenow-platform/t_InstallAMIDServerOnLinux.md) and [Windows](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/servicenow-platform/mid-server-install-prereqs.md).
-   The MID Server used for Cloud Discovery is configured with the Cloud Management capability.
-   You have configured an oVirt user in the oVirt Administration Portal with the required roles and permissions. This configuration enables the MID Server to access the cloud resources you plan to discover.
-   You have created suitable credentials in the ServiceNow AI Platform to connect with the oVirt user that you want to use for discovery. For more information, see [Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager and Red Hat Virtualization discovery](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-operations-management/discovery-and-service-mapping-patterns/red-hat-virtualization-discovery.md).
-   You're using Discovery Admin Workspace v1.13.0 or later.

Role required: discovery\_admin

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **Workspaces** > **Discovery Admin Workspace** > **Schedules**.

2.  Select **New Discovery** from the header of any tab on the Schedules page.

3.  Select **Cloud-based discovery** and select **Continue**.

4.  Enter a unique and descriptive name for the Discovery schedule.

5.  Select **oVirt** as the cloud provider.

6.  Choose a MID Server.

    |Option|Description|
    |------|-----------|
    |**Use a cluster of MID servers**|Select an existing MID Server. Clusters provide failover protection and load balancing between MID Servers. See [Configure a MID Server cluster](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/servicenow-platform/t_ConfigureAMIDServerCluster.md) for more information.|
    |**Automatically select a MID server**|An available MID Server is automatically selected when the Discovery schedule runs. See [Automatic MID Server selection](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-operations-management/agent-client-collector/acc-auto-mid-selection.md) for more information.|
    |**Search for a MID server**|Choose a MID Server to run the Discovery schedule. Only MID Servers that are validated, up, and have the Cloud Management capability are displayed.|

7.  Select **Next**.

8.  Select a cloud account.

**Existing cloud account**

</td><td>

Select an existing cloud account on your instance. Once an account is selected, the **Account name** and **Manager URL** fields auto-populate.

</td></tr><tr><td id="d424314e349">

**New cloud account**

</td><td>

Add a cloud account to your instance by entering an account name and Manager URL.**Note:**

-   The Manager URL is the URL you use to access the oVirt Administration Portal.
-   Example: `https://my-manager-instance.com:433`


</td></tr></tbody>
</table>    Even if the cloud account was previously verified, you can reverify if policies or permissions may have changed by selecting **Verify information.**

9.  Select **Next**.

10. Select datacenters for the discovery schedule.

    You can choose to include all datacenters linked to the cloud account or select specific datacenters. There’s no restriction on the number of datacenters that you can add.

    1.  To discover specific datacenters, select the datacenters from the **Select the data centers** drop-down list.

    2.  If the datacenters don't appear, select **Refresh data centers**.

11. Select **Next**.

12. To complement your cloud schedule with an IP-based Discovery schedule, enable the **Create a server discovery schedule** toggle.

    1.  Select a MID Server or cluster that can discover the Virtual Machines \(VM\) and their attributes.

13. Select **Next**.

14. Configure the Discovery schedule.

    |Option|Description|
    |------|-----------|
    |**Run at a scheduled time**|The schedule runs at a scheduled date and time. Use the fields to define when the schedule runs.|
    |**Run on demand**|The schedule only runs when triggered manually. The schedule can be triggered by selecting **Finish and run** at the end of this setup, or by navigating to the schedule in the Discovery Schedules \[discovery\_schedule\] table and selecting **Discover Now**.|
    |**Run after series**|The schedule runs after another existing Discovery schedule completes, staggering or chaining them together. Selecting an existing schedule displays a relationship map of all the other associated schedules.|
    |**Set discovery time out**|If the schedule exceeds the maximum runtime, it's canceled. After toggling, configure the runtime threshold.|
    |**Finish and run**|After being selected, all the information provided is validated. Then, a Discovery schedule is created in the background, a Discovery status is created, and the schedule is run. You're redirected to the Status Details page for the schedule.|
    |**Finish**|After being selected, all the information provided is validated. A Discovery schedule is created, and you're redirected to its entry in the Discovery Schedules \[discovery\_schedule\] table. You can edit the schedule information or run it by selecting **Discover Now**.|
