I’m looking to see whether Unimus can provide more detailed error information when a device discovery fails.

Right now, when a device fails in discovery, I often need to manually troubleshoot (credentials, connectivity, etc.). If there were a way for Unimus to display clearer failure reasons - for example, authentication issues, unreachable device, timeout, or unsupported protocol - it would save a lot of time and make it easier to immediately target the cause.

Is there an existing feature or setting that exposes these errors during discovery?

We have pretty extensive debugging available in the Zones menu:

Please note, I wouldn't recommend leaving it on all the time as the logs can become quite extensive and I have encountered times where I frustrated my diagnostic efforts with months of debugging logs.

Just as a side-node, even the basic logs for Discovery failures should suggest what is wrong. You can just click the red job indicator on the Devices page, or check Dashboard > Device Job History > Latest failed job > select job > Show result.

That will have a nice write-out of what failed for Discovery. In case that is not sufficient, like Tommy mentioned, you can always enable Debug logging through Zones > Debug Mode.
