    Is there any documentation available for discovery_server and its callbacks/command-set?
    • I'm particularly interested in the "get_devices".

    Currently no. The dev team does not publish Probe utility callbacks generally speaking.

    Tried out that callback in my lab and it didn't work:
    Received the following error: Invalid argument.

    In general using the Admin Console is easier for me since it supports copy past, and in some cases search and export of the results.

    The probe callback was to be used in a probe function we are developing using the latest probe sdk. But lack of documentation for the sdk an for the existing probe callbacks have been proven difficult.

    The plan was to use the callback function from the discovery server to get the current inventory list.

    Anyone done similar functions for importing discovered computer systems into own probe profiles?

    There is REST, uimapi and webservices_rest which have a call for that.
