Actions
It provides quick access to operational functions that allow administrators to control scan behavior and scheduling across all containers, subcontainers, blocks, and subnets.
When clicked, it displays three options:
Configurations & Schedule
Trigger Availability Scan
Trigger Inventory Scan
Each option supports continuous IP discovery, reachability checks, and device inventory updates across the configured subnet hierarchy.
Configurations & Schedule
This option defines the default scan behaviour for all IPAM components. It allows administrators to set how often availability and inventory scans should run, select the data collector, and control grouping. Any subnet without a custom schedule will use these default settings.
Add Configurations
Define how availability and inventory scans should run for the selected item. Use this when a custom configuration is needed instead of the system-wide default settings.
Default Configurations | Basic Details
Data Collector*
Select from the dropdown.
Select the data collector that will perform the scans for this configuration.
Grouping Method*
Select option
Defines how the scanned IP results are grouped.
Options include: IP Address or Host Name.
Example: Choose an IP Address for standard grouping.

Trigger Availability Scan
It lets admins manually run an availability scan across all enabled subnets. This scan checks whether IP addresses are reachable using the configured methods (Ping and Port).
This option is practical when you want to update the availability status immediately, rather than waiting for the following scheduled scan defined under Configurations & Schedule.
Trigger Inventory Scan
This option manually starts an inventory scan for all enabled subnets. This scan collects device-level information using the configured inventory methods (Port and SNMP).
Use this option when you need an immediate update of device details, rather than relying solely on the scheduled inventory scan defined under Configurations & Schedule.
