Solution
An IP address must be added to the host properties to correct this.
- Go to Setup > Host > Edit the properties of the host having issues.
- Place a [X] next to the Address within the Management Board section.
- Enter the missing IP into the text field.
- Save and try to discover services again.

It is best practice to add a management board as a separate host and to use SNMP or a special agent instead. |
