Probes / Sensors

[narendrand]

Hello Everyone,

May I the 'probes' name helps to identify the windows patches from Network and the 'sensor' name helps to process the retrieved data in Service Now?

Kindly share your valuable comments ASAP.

Thanks in Advance!

Regards,

Narendran

Hi

Narendran

Probe:

      probes are launched by the MID Server to collect all the information that you want returned from a device. For example, the base ServiceNow system has probes to get the names of Windows and Linux devices, and separate exploration probes that return disk information for devices with those operating systems. Some probes run a post-processing script to filter the data that is sent back to the ServiceNow instance. The data is sent back in JSON format.

View each probe's results in the ECC queue, which displays specifics such as the time the probe ran and its payload. For each probe, you must also create a sensor to process the data that the probe returns. To view existing probes, navigate to Discovery > Discovery Definition > Probes.

Sensors:

If the probe has a post-processing script defined, that script processes the information collected on the MID Server. Otherwise the sensor performs this post processing. The sensor updates the CMDB.

Every probe in Discovery must have a corresponding sensor. For example, if incoming data is the result of a WMI probe, then the WMI sensor is triggered to process the payload.
