  • Hostname or IP address of the system that could not be discovered.

  • Type, which is one of the system types

  • State is either UNDISCOVERED or THROTTLED, as described in Discovery states.

  • Non-SNMP is a checkbox for indicating that the system does not support SNMP.

  • Comment describes why the system is on the Pending Devices list, or contains the system’s SysDescr value of the system if the current system limit has been exceeded.

    Discovery states describes the discovery states and the actions you can take to resolve the situation.
