CIS-Discovery Exam Dumps : Certified Implementation Specialist - Discovery

A horizontal discovery pattern is a sequence of operations that collects information about a specific type of configuration item (CI), such as an operating system, a database, or a web server1. A horizontal discovery pattern does not use the connectivity section, which is only used for the application pattern type2. The connectivity section defines how to connect to a CI and run commands on it3. A horizontal discovery pattern uses the following sections1:

• Variables: Defines the variables that store the data collected by the pattern and map them to the target table fields.
• Identification: Defines the criteria to identify a CI and update or create a record in the CMDB.
• Operations: Defines the actions to perform on the target CI, such as running commands, querying databases, or parsing files.

In ServiceNow Discovery, most properties related to the Discovery module start with the prefix 'glide.discovery'. This naming convention is part of ServiceNow's system property design, where 'glide' typically indicates system properties and 'discovery' specifies that the property is related to the Discovery module. Properties are used to configure various aspects of the Discovery process, such as behavior, timeouts, and performance settings.

A Functionality Definition is a configuration record that defines what protocols to detect from within a Behavior. A Behavior is a set of Functionality Definitions that Discovery uses to identify and explore a device or application. A Functionality Definition specifies the order, type, and parameters of the probes that Discovery launches to gather information about a device or application12.
