The process of discovering power-enabled PDUs is similar to [Device42 Network Autodiscovery](auto-discovery/network-auto-discovery.mdx). Begin by navigating to **Discovery > SNMP**. You can then enter an IP address range and a port if not using the default `161`.

### Geist Power Unit Serial Number Discovery

As of version 19.08, Device42 uses a different OID to discover power unit serial numbers for Geist PDUs, which now match the physical serial numbers on the devices.

If a Geist power unit was discovered before this change and the [device matching level](/auto-discovery/unprocessed-device-records.mdx#device-matching-level) is not set to **Moderate**, a separate device record will be created. If matching is set to **Moderate** and the **Give precedence to hostname** option is not selected, the serial number will be updated but not the name of the device or power unit.

When sensors are discovered, they are created with Asset records in Device42. Navigate to **Resources > Assets > All Assets** to see a list of all assets. Filter the list by `Type="Sensor"` to see a list of all the PDU-attached sensors discovered.

## Capacity Considerations

Monitoring is a fairly resource-intensive process, and as a result, each individual monitoring appliance is limited in the number of PDUs, infeeds, and outlets it can handle. When you set up each autodiscovery job, you will choose a polling interval. The primary resource limitation is the number of SNMP polls that can be done in the selected polling. So, if you select 5-minute polling intervals, you monitor 5x the number of PDUs in one monitoring appliance that you could if you selected 1-minute polling intervals.
