DiscoversOne child launchpoint per network (site) the Access Key can see, including offline networks and networks with no devices

Description

Connects to one Cisco Business Dashboard instance over its REST API (v2) and collects its organizations, networks (sites), and device groups. Each network becomes a child launchpoint that collects the devices on that network: identity, firmware version and latest available firmware, online state, end-of-life (EOX) bulletin dates, and warranty and support coverage dates.

Asset Mapping: No asset-inventory mappings ship with this inspector.
