CIS-Discovery Exam Dumps : Certified Implementation Specialist - Discovery

The mid.discovery.max_pattern_payload_size property defines the maximum overall size for the returned payload that comes from patterns. This property is set on the MID Server and applies to all patterns that run on that MID Server. If the payload size exceeds this limit, the pattern execution fails and an error message is logged in the ECC queue. The default value of this property is 10 MB1.

 The WMI service is a Windows service that enables remote management of Windows devices using the WMI protocol. The WMI service is required for Discovery to access the configuration and status information of Windows devices using WMI queries. If the WMI service is not running on a host, it will prevent the discovery of Windows devices, as Discovery will not be able to communicate with the WMI Collector or execute WMI queries on the target device123.

The SNMP Query operation on a pattern for a custom device query allows Discovery to retrieve information from the target device using the SNMP protocol. It is best practice to use the published manufacturer’s device MIB, which is the official and standard definition of the device’s SNMP data. Using the manufacturer’s device MIB ensures that the query is accurate, consistent, and compatible with the device. Modifying the default MIB information, enabling SSH as a secondary protocol, or using live devices in production are not recommended practices, as they may introduce errors, security risks, or performance issues123.
