These resources are added manually:

There are also advanced methods for adding resources to an application.

  • Automatically discover connection resources from device usage logs. .

  • Automatically discover application connections and resources from firewall policies using the Application Setup Tool. Available on single domain mode only. For more information, contact Professional Services.

Once you define these resources, you can use them to build the required connections.
