If you run a discovery and, for whatever reason, Open-AudIT doesn't add the device to the database there wont be a direct way to view the Discovery log (Step 4 above). However, three there will still be entries in the discovery_log table, you'll just need to dig them out the the database to look through them. To export the discovery logs select Admin -> Database -> List Tables from the Open-Audit menu, then look for the discovery_log table. Click the blue details icon to access the table, then click Export to CSV. This should create a CSV file that can be opened in a text editor or Excel. Search for the device's IP address and look through the related entries to determine what Open-AudIT found and what decisions it made regarding the device.
