Discovery cron

The discovery cron is the timed job that re-reads each connected cloud account's inventory. In ZopNight it runs every six hours, so a resource created just after a run can take up to six hours to appear unless someone triggers a manual refresh. Why it matters: Cost and recommendations only cover resources discovery has seen.
