The RESTCONF Network Discovery and UIM Integration cartridge allows you to create a Discover Restconf Devices scan.

To create a Discover Restconf Devices scan:

1. Create a new scan.

   See Network Integrity Online Help for more information about creating a new scan.

2. On the General tab, do the following, select Discover Restconf Devices from the Scan Action list.

   The Scan Type field displays Discovery.

3. In the Scan Action Parameters section, configure the scan with the following parameters:

   • In the Device Type field, select type of device to discover.

   • In the Authentication field, select type of HTTP Authentication protocol.

   • In the SSL field, enable or disable SSL. If you enable SSL, then import the certificate of the RESTCONF server (device) into either Java's trust store or the server's trust store.
   • In the Username field, enter username for the authentication protocol.
   • In the Password field, enter password for the authentication protocol.
   • In the Restconf Port field, provide the port for connection.
   • In the Context root field, provide the leading url for Restconf call.
   • In the Connect Timeout field, provide the connection timeout value in milliseconds.
   • In the Read Timeout field, provide the read timeout value in milliseconds.
   • In the Field Filtering field, enable or disable field filtering for REST response.
4. Provide device IP Address in the Scope field.
5. Save and run the scan.

   The scan discovers and models logical and physical devices. It also creates a device model for each logical and physical device.

The RESTCONF Network Discovery and UIM Integration cartridge allows you to populate UIM with network data discovered by the Discover Restconf Devices discovery action.

To populate UIM with discovered network data:
