How is the "Second Part Alias" token used in Active Discovery?

Locked

Discussion interactions are currently paused.

Hi--I see on the Script Active Discovery page that there is a new type of token that can be used for instances in script-based instance discovery called "Second Part Alias".

What is this and how exactly is it used? Maybe can you provide an example of how it is being used in the product currently?

I am particularly interested in storing more information about instances ("instance custom properties") if possibel..which coukd then be sourced in an alert message/webhook..so if it can be used for this purpose in any way that would be ideal.

Awesome forum & support site BTW

Hi Skup -

Instance Level Properties is the feature you want, by which ActiveDiscovery will store additional information about an instance for later reuse.

This feature is currently on our roadmap but not yet scheduled. With luck you'll see it in Q4 2016.

Great to know that this is on the roadmap!!

Still curious about what Second Part Alias is used for--thanks!
