#### Discovery methods

-   [Network discovery](/manual/discovery/network_discovery) - automatically detect hosts and services available on your network.
-   [Active agent autoregistration](/manual/discovery/auto_registration) - allow active agents to automatically register themselves with the server.
-   [Low-level discovery](/manual/discovery/low_level_discovery) - automatically create items, triggers, graphs, and hosts for discovered entities like file systems or network interfaces using prototypes and nested discovery rules.
