Hello all,

 

Do all applications on servers get discovered in ServiceNow during horizontal discovery?
or
Do you have to manually add runs on:runs relationships?

Thank you for your responses.

Hi @Steven Barber ,

 

Application running on any type of Server  (Windows, AIX, Unix etc) will discover by ServiceNow Discovery and Relationship will be created buy them automatically in CMDB_rel_ci table with runs on:runs relationship type.

 

This is OOB feature of ServiceNow Discovery , Please dont create manually anything.

Hi @Steven Barber 

 

My limited knowledge say Yes, and if we add Service Mapping then all relationship also come.

Thank you for your responses, Atul & Ajay.

Are there specific applications that ServiceNow will discover?

Do you need service mapping to discover the applications or is regular discovery good enough?

HI @Steven Barber 

 

Regular discovery will work here.
