Introduction
New in Open-AudIT 4.1.0, we have introduced Device Seed Discoveries. This is another type of discovery, where you provide the IP of a single "seed" device. This device is audited, and any IPs it knows are then added to the list of IPs to be audited. Then, those devices are audited and any IPs they know are also added to the list of IPs for auditing.
