11 <tt>bulk_discovery_start</tt> has been added to start a bulk discovery for
12 a collection of hosts which will be executed asynchronously. The call
13 <tt>bulk_discovery_status</tt> can be used to get the status of such a
16 The <tt>bulk_discovery_start</tt> call requires the <tt>hostnames</tt>
17 parameter to be a list of host names to execute the discovery for. It
18 accepts the following optional keys:
21 <li>mode (default: "new")</li>
22 <li>use_cache (default: True)</li>
23 <li>do_scan (default: True)</li>
24 <li>bulk_size (default: 10)</li>
25 <li>ignore_single_check_errors (default: True)</li>
28 The defaults may be customized using the global setting <i>Bulk discovery</i>.
29 The global setting also describes the possible options in detail.
31 The <tt>bulk_discovery_status</tt> call does not accept any parameter.
