Has the method for NCM Inventory Scans changed? The Administrator Guide specifies the following instructions. However, I don't see these selections after selecting the NCM Inventory tab. Please let me know if this process is no longer valid and whether another method is now used.
Running a Complete
Inventory Scan
To perform an inventory of all
nodes managed by SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager, click Inventory
> Start Full Inventory.
Note: A full inventory scan can take anywhere from a few
minutes to several hours to complete. The time period varies based on the
number of nodes and the type of statistics you want to collect. For more
information on how to establish which statistics are collected, see “Adjusting
Inventory Settings” on page 220.

Complete the following
procedure to run an individual inventory scan.

inventory scan:
1. Click a node or a group of nodes in the left pane.

set to run on a schedule. Scheduled inventory scans are referred to as
