Hi @BoHyun Jung ,

 

The correct choices for creating a custom horizontal pattern to discover an operating system that is not discovered by the base installation patterns are:

 

A. Select a CI Type

C. Select Infrastructure Pattern Type

 

Explanation:

 

- **Select a CI Type (Choice A):** This is necessary to define the type of Configuration Item (CI) you are discovering, which includes specifying the operating system you want to discover.

 

- **Select Infrastructure Pattern Type (Choice C):** Infrastructure Patterns in ServiceNow Discovery are used to define the discovery process for specific types of CIs. Selecting the appropriate pattern type is crucial for discovering the operating system correctly.

 

The other choices (B and D) are not directly related to defining patterns for operating system discovery in ServiceNow Discovery.

 

Thanks,

Danish

  1. Cl Type should be selected.

    Configuration Item (CI) types are important for patterns because they define the specific kind of asset or service that the pattern is designed to discover. For example, a pattern designed to discover a Linux server would need to have the appropriate CI Type selected that corresponds to a Linux server.

  2. Infrastructure Pattern Type should be selected.

    Infrastructure patterns are used by Discovery for creating lists of devices. If an operating system is not discovered by the base installation of Discovery, creating a custom infrastructure pattern that can discover the system would be necessary.
