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 generated by discovery scans. They can also be generated by trapd and syslogd, if those daemons are configured properly. We recommend that you use the Meridian web UI to update configuration settings.
