A Better / More flexible way to schedule Discovery Polling

Currently, scheduled Discovery Polling through the GUI is limited to specifying a Category on a single day of week and time of day. This means that:

  • If more frequent Discoveries are required (e.g. Daily), it means specifying multiple lines (e.g. 7) for each Category to specify each day of the week.

  • If less frequent Discoveries are required (e.g. Monthly), there is really no way to do that.

The interface should be improved to allow a more flexible, single row to specify what ever is required. The suggestion here would be to use a CRON schedule,which would allow virtually anything to specified. I understand this is not the most "user friendly", but anyone doing this should be able to understand/google cron schedules.

It should also be possible to add groupings other than Category to the Scheduled Discovery Process. Strategic Groups, Sites, Device Types and Subtypes would all be good to options to put on a schedule.
