I'm having some major issues with Auto-discovery (read, I can't seem to get it working at all).
Here is what I have in my config:
$config['autodiscovery']['xdp'] = TRUE; // Autodiscover hosts via discovery protocols (CDP, LLDP, FDP, AMAP and other)
$config['autodiscovery']['ospf'] = TRUE; // Autodiscover hosts via OSPF
$config['autodiscovery']['bgp'] = TRUE; // Autodiscover hosts via iBGP
$config['autodiscovery']['libvirt'] = TRUE; // Autodiscover hosts found via libvirt
$config['autodiscovery']['ip_nets'] = array("10.0.0.0/8"); // Networks to permit autodiscovery
$config['discover_services'] = TRUE; // Autodiscover services via SNMP on devices of type "server"
I'm using resolution via hosts file, and I have about 150 machines there. However, autodiscovery seems to do nothing.
Hi,
Ok, and these hosts run any of these protocols yet they don't get picked up?

Exactly.
It's mostly Cisco devices, with a few servers thrown in.

That would be because it doesn't actually work properly. It ended up being such an unused feature that we don't put much time into it.
xDP and OSPF discovery might work, but the others won't.
It doesn't help that you haven't actually specified what you expect to work...

Well I sort of expected all the protocols to work, and add devices. I will focus my attention on xDP and OSPF and see if I can get something working.

The xDP stuff should be the most reliable. It relies on the sysName reported by the remote device to polled device via xDP being resolvable by the system's resolver library (so hosts should work).
You can see what's happening of you turn on debugging and run the discovery-protocols module on a device.
The OSPF discovery, I think, will try to get a sysName from each router in OSPF using the configured community strings.
You did miss out the community strings in the config part you showed, do you have those correctly in your config?

For CDP/LLDP Discovery you need to make sure that all devices have correct domain-name configured. If the dns record for the device is myrouter.mgmt.company.com you need to configure hostname: myrouter and domain-name: mgmt.company.com on the device for all its neighbors to be able to find it correctly with autodiscovery.
