When does DPA update Avamar inventory
I was curious, I added some Avamar domains/containers in Avamar. When or how do I get those to show up in DPA? Example I added two domains under our vCenter object in Avamar, added /vcenter/virtual machines/new domain1 and new domain2. It's been 24 hours and I don't see them in when I navigate thru the inventory of that Avamar instance.

Not sure if this is by design, but I figured it out kind of by accident, if the container doesn't have any clients in it, DPA doesn't add it until it does. I added a new container in Avamar, with clients in it, and went to DPA earlier and it was there but the other ones still weren't, when I compared them the only difference was the two not showing up were empty, so I dropped clients in those two and ran a manual discover and there they were.

The containers should be added to DPA when your "Avamar Configuration" Data Collection job runs. Look in Admin > System > Manage Data Collection Defaults.
I think it defaults to 24 hours, but ours is set to 12 hours, as shown here:
If you don't see your new container, you can also run a manual collection from this menu. If, after the manual collection you don't see them, you can try running another manual collection, this time, set it to allow potentially deleted VMs:
Failing that, try opening an SR with Support. Let us know if that helps!
