Creating Custom Probes and Sensor for Discovery.

Hi All,

I have been using Service-Now discovery functionality for last 3 -4 months. Gradually moving ahead and skill enchancement propose, I am interested in learning how to customize our probes and sensors for accommodating not supported network devices and other SNMP based device discovery using service-Now.

What is the best possible approach to start learning it. Do we have any documentation or other supported materials that can guide me to achieve this target.

Thanks,
Aniket

@NirmalSharma  The probes and sensors are replaced with Pattern in the recent past. Go through the basic Discovery Fundamentals course and it should help you to write Patterns.

Thankyou for your reply. However there still many times we need to write custom probes and sensors. Considering that I wanted to know as how it is done from the scratch. Any video, link or anything will be helpful to learn it fully.

 

Also I know many people say its JavaScript; but again want to know what are the essential ingredients to make a recipe good enough with writing custom Probes and Sensors.
