Alibaba Cloud Discovery

What information does Alibaba Cloud discovery gather? In addition to standard discovery methods, the discovery monitors network traffic to see all routes during discovery execution for Application Dependency Mapping. A read-only Alibaba role can be provided, as the discovery performs no changes to the cloud infrastructure during execution.

Alibaba Discovery Items

Cloud Service/Object Name	Where To Locate in Device42	Accessed API	Information Generated
VMs	Devices -> All Devices	http://ecs-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com	Type, name, OS, notes, RAM, CPU, serial number

Select Alibaba Cloud from the Type dropdown menu, name your discovery job, and include both your Access Key Id and Access Key Secret.

Select one or more zones from the Available Zones for the discovery.

Select an option for Action for Instance not found and select a Device Name Format.

Optionally, you can set the Service Level of the job to be applied to the discovered items. For example, Development, Deployment, or Production. You also have the option to create a regular schedule, determining when the job will run.

Click Save and click Run Now to run the job immediately. You can also run the job from the Cloud Autodiscovery list page.

Linode Discovery

Linode Discovery Items

Cloud Service/Object Name	Where To Locate in Device42	Accessed API	Information Generated
VMs	Devices --> All Devices	https://api.linode.com/v4/linode/instances https://api.linode.com/v4/linode/instances/[linodeId]/disks https://api.linode.com/v4/linode/instances/[linodeId]/ips https://api.linode.com/?api_action=api.spec	Name, type, RAM, OS, HDD serial number and size, IP, etc.

You will need your API key to access Linode:

• To create a Linode API Key, go to your Linode console.

  

• Select My Profile and navigate to API Keys. From here, you can create the API key that Device42 needs to gain access to your Linode account.

  

From Device42, click Create on the Cloud Autodiscovery list page and then select Linode from the Type dropdown menu. Enter your Linode API key by clicking the + (plus sign) icon to create a new Device42 Secret.

Optionally, you can:

• Add a Vendor. Vendors can be user-defined or populated by the EnrichAI feature as part of discovery.
• Choose a VRF Group. All IPs found will be placed in subnets in the chosen VRF group. This is useful if you have duplicate IPs in your internal network.
• Select which Action for Instance not found you'd like Device42 to take. If you select Delete Instance, then each time this autodiscovery job is run, any devices previously created for this account that aren't found by the latest autodiscovery job will be deleted. This ensures that Device42 remains in sync with Linode. Otherwise, you could have Device42 Cloud Instances (cloud devices) that no longer exist in Linode.
• Set the Service Level of the job to be applied to the discovered items. For example, Development, Deployment, or Production.
• Create a regular schedule to determine when the job will run.

Click Save and Run Now to run the job immediately. You can also run the job manually at any time by clicking the Run Now button on the Cloud Autodiscovery list page.

Get Details for OpenStack Discovery

Device42 needs your OpenStack User Name (username@UserDomainID:ProjectDomainName), Password, and Project Name.

1. Log in to OpenStack and take note of your User Name and Password.

   

2. When you log in to OpenStack, you'll see the Overview screen with a list of projects.

Create an OpenStack Discovery Job

Select OpenStack from the Type dropdown menu, and fill in the User name, Password, and Project name fields.

If you disable Discover all projects/tenants, then the Project Name is required. When Discover all projects/tenants is enabled, Device42 will discover resources across all available projects, making the specific project name unnecessary.

Optionally, you can:
