Congrats! You're now ready to attend a Roar Academy Webinar where you can learn about the platform, Roar features, and best practices when rolling out Roar.
Auto-Discovered Systems
Throughout your experience with Roar, you'll get to take advantage of a feature called Auto-Discovery. In short, our Inspectors can discover other potential Inspectors which saves you a lot of manual setup work.

Here's an example of an Auto-Discovery chain:
ConnectWise Manage and Autotask Integrations
Internet Domains
TLS/SSL Certificates
Note: In the App, you can see which Inspectors Auto-Discover other Inspectors and which Inspectors are Parent/Child Type Inspectors by navigating to Admin > Inspectors > Discovers column.
As a best practice, activate the Inspectors for Internet Domains and TLS/SSL Certificates first.
Parent/Child Inspectors
For multi-tenant systems, Roar uses a concept called Parent/Child relationships. This is a version of Auto-Discovery that allows Roar to use one global parent Inspector to Auto-Discover all the companies in your multi-tenant systems.
Setup the following Parent/Child Inspectors in Roar next:

These Inspectors all run via Cloud Agents which are already in your instance and ready to go!
While many of our Inspectors don't require privileged network access, some of them do. For those, we will need to install On-Premise Roar Agents.

With systems that require local network access, the most typical deployment strategy is to install one Roar Windows Agent per Environment. A single Roar Agent can facilitate inspections across that whole network.

Any other Windows servers, SQL servers, & Hyper-V
You can access support right from your Roar Instance! In the top right corner of your instance, there is a Support drop down menu. There you will find three quick links to our Documentation Site, a link to Create a Support Ticket, and a link to Support a Feature Request.
