A vDiscovery job retrieves information about virtual entities in cloud environments that are managed through cloud management platforms (CMPs) such as VMware, OpenStack, AWS, Azure, and GCP. The current vDiscovery feature supports tenants, networks, and compute VMs only. It does not support data that is retrieved from load balancer networks, load balancer VMs, Kubernetes platform VMs, application gateways, service VMs, SQL VMs, or any other VMs that are created using cloud services such as Kubernetes service or analytics service, where the IPAM is handled by the respective orchestration engines of the cloud provider.
Note that if the vDiscovery job retrieves unsupported data from AWS, Azure, or GCP, then it impacts the performance of the vDiscovery process.

You must first select a member to run the vDiscovery job. To ensure that the job is executed properly, verify the connection between the discovering member and the discovered endpoint. If you select HTTPS as the protocol for communication, you must upload either an SSL CA (Certified Authority) certificate or a self-signed SSL certificate to the Grid. If the certificate has expired, ensure that you delete the expired certificate and then upload a new certificate. For more information about uploading certificates, seeĀ Managing Certificates.
