# ITOM Configuration Console for Discovery

The ITOM Configuration Console gives administrators a single place to complete all Discovery setup steps, from assigning administrators to scheduling discovery runs. The console contains two modules: Discovery and Event Management.

Discovery guides you through the end-to-end setup of your IT infrastructure scanning. It covers assigning administrators, deploying and validating MID Servers, configuring IP and cloud credentials, scheduling discovery runs, and reviewing schedules. It also includes diagnostics to identify discovery errors and detect anomalies, ensuring your environment is fully validated before you promote your configuration to production. Starting with ITOM Configuration Console v28.3.1, you can view configuration guidance as you set up each task. The guidance shows the actions to take and the actions to avoid, so you can configure Discovery correctly and avoid common setup mistakes. To view available tasks in the Discovery module, see [Admin in ITOM Configuration Console](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-operations-management/discovery/admin-disco-itom.md).

Event Management helps you take control of your IT alerts from start to finish. It begins with assigning administrators, setting up integration accounts, and installing the necessary integrations to connect your monitoring tools. From there, you can review and enrich incoming alerts, automatically create incidents, and reduce noise by grouping, ignoring, or delaying alerts. The platform also provides structured training for your operations team on key tools such as Service Operations Workspace, Express List, and Service Dashboard. Finally, built-in dashboards help you report on outcomes and measure progress before promoting your configuration to production.
