Got it, not quite intuitive.
So to use it you go Managed Hosts > Local (which is your local client) > Auto discovery.
I was under the impression it was a standalone feature that just works on the client, but management is on a intranet level and you're looking at 'sites' under Managed Hosts, Local being the local client site.
I assume remote proxies would also show up in this list if I had any, which are other sites?
Thanks for the feedback.
Are you running a client-server setup, where you connect with only the client user interface from another computer? In the Options dialog, Managed Hosts section, the entry "Local" is referring to the Awesome Miner server in this case. The client application doesn't connect to any miners, proxies or anything else. It's just a view of what's on the server. For this reason, "Local" is referring to the server.
In case you run Remote Proxies for distributed sites each of them are represented as a Managed Host. Each of these hosts (including Local) can be configured with auto discovery. Each of the hosts can be responsible for management of all miners of a site.
