Host discovery not running

I’m trying to use host discovery as per: https://docs.centreon.com/docs/monitoring/discovery/hosts-discovery/(with the Generic SNMP host discovery provider) Unfortunately, neither “execute immediately” nor scheduled jobs seem to ever progress from ‘scheduled’ to ‘running’ - the host discovery UI has them indefinitely stuck at ‘scheduled’, 0s duration, 0 hosts discovered, “execute now” and “show results” greyed out.What could I be missing?

Putting together a host template from scanned services

I’m just getting familiar with Centreon.I started by adding a couple of server-type hosts from our infrastructure, and put together some monitoring for them using the service scan function. That works great and gives me a very convenient resource overview. (All SNMP-based for now.)Now, I’d like to do a similar thing with the client machines on the network - to be able to see disk space getting low, VMs burning CPU/memory while idling, stuff like that.I’ve added one such client host as a starting point, and again used the scan function to add the 10 or so services I’m interested in.Now, my question is, how do I create templates from those 10 scanned services, so I can put them together into a host template and ideally auto-discover my range of 35+ client machines and have the same service monitors applied?I.e., is there a “template from existing service” function that copies over all the service’s configuration values?
