--- title: "Creating NIOS-X Discovery Service" canonical: "https://docs.infoblox.com/space/UniversalAssetInsights/1501397632/Creating%20NIOS-X%20Discovery%20Service" format: markdown --- After you deploy a NIOS-X server, you must associate a Discovery service instance with the server before you can configure discovery properties for Universal Asset Insights. For information about Universal Asset Insights, see *[About Universal Asset Insights](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/UniversalAssetInsights/pages/1501397303)*. > ⚠️ Network Discovery service cannot co-exist with other services. If you are deploying Network Discovery Service on a NIOS-X Server, create a separate NIOS-X Server for other services such as DNS, DHCP, Data Connector, Anycast, DNS Forwarding Proxy, MSAD Sync, and NTP. To create a Discovery service and associate it with a NIOS-X server, do the following: 1. Log in to the Infoblox Portal. 2. Go to **Network > Services & Servers >** **Protocol Service**. 3. Click **Create Service**. 4. From the drop down menu, select **Discovery**. 5. In the **Create Discovery** wizard, do the following: - [Creating Discovery - General Info](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BloxOneInfrastructure/pages/606437610) - [Creating Discovery - Discovery Settings](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BloxOneInfrastructure/pages/606339272) - [Creating Discovery - Blackout](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BloxOneInfrastructure/pages/996966442) - [Creating Discovery - Summary](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BloxOneInfrastructure/pages/606437643)
