Manage credentials
Multiple credential sets can be created, typically for groups of hosts with common credentials and/or hosts grouped by operating system (Linux/Windows). These credential sets are then selected and applied to specific Host Discovery policies. In fact, multiple credential sets can be listed, allowing the Data Collector to attempt authentication in a specific order until it is successful.
At the very least, you should have one credential set for Linux hosts and another for Windows hosts. Each defined set of credentials will have a name, to enable relevant selection when configuring Host Discovery policies.
