Understand asset inventory discovery in SCM

When any newly installed module brings asset inventory into the SolarWinds Platform server, asset inventory is automatically enabled for all eligible nodes, including agent nodes.

When you click Add Agent on the Manage Agents page to create a new node, asset inventory for the node is discovered in the background and enabled when applicable. However, you can opt out of the feature in Advanced Configuration via settings, EnableAgentAutomaticDiscovery.
