GLPI agent network discovery

I have an agent running on all Windows machine and tis works well.

I wish to designate one of these machines to perform a periodic network discovery and update my GLPI server however I am not following how to achieve this.

The agent documentation states:

"The glpi-agent agent is a generic multi-platform agent. It can perform a large array of management tasks, such as local inventory, software deployment or network discovery. It can be used either standalone, or in combination with a compatible server acting as a centralized control point."

I have read about the glpi-netdiscovery however this does not need a GLPI server:

"glpi-netdiscovery can be used to run a network discovery task without a GLPI server."

So... how can I configure the agent to perform a network discovery and report it back to the server.

p.s.
I currently use Datto RMM and it allows an agent to be configured from the server as a "Network Node". A network node both performs a network discovery and can act as a proxy for connecting to a local device.
