Provisiond

The provision daemon scans nodes from requisition and import files, and from newSuspect events. The scanned nodes are then added to the database. Note that only nodes in the database are monitored by other daemons.

NewSuspect events are triggered by Discovery scans, and by trapd and syslogd if those daemons are configured to create the event.

We recommend that you use the Horizon UI to update configuration settings.
