JDisc Discovery: Setup and import

JDisc Discovery automatically inventories network devices, hardware, software, and virtualization environments. The results can be imported into the i-doit CMDB.

Prerequisites

JDisc Discovery runs on a Windows system
PostgreSQL port 25321 must be reachable from the i-doit server
From i-doit v36 onwards, the JDisc Connector Add-on is additionally available

Step 1: Configure connection

Classic: Administration > Import & Interfaces > JDISC > Configuration

JDisc Connector Add-on (from v36): The complete management is in the add-on under Add-ons > JDisc Connector in the main menu. Dashboard, Discovery Server, Sync Profiles, Device List, and Logs are available there.

Parameter	Default	Description
Host	--	IP address or hostname of the JDisc server
Port	`25321`	PostgreSQL port
Database	`inventory`	JDisc database
Username	`postgresro`	Read-only user
Password	--	Database password

Enable GraphQL (recommended)

For encrypted communication and extended features: Protocol https, Port 443, WebService credentials.

GraphQL is available from i-doit v22 and recommended for new installations.

Step 2: Create import profile

Classic: Administration > Import & Interfaces > JDISC > Profiles

JDisc Connector Add-on (from v36): Add-ons > JDisc Connector > Sync Profiles

Profiles define how JDisc data is mapped to i-doit object types and categories.

Step 3: Run import

Classic: Extras > Import > JDisc

JDisc Connector Add-on (from v36): Add-ons > JDisc Connector > Dashboard (start import from there)
