CIS-Discovery Exam Dumps : Certified Implementation Specialist - Discovery

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.

 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.
