Hi,

I am on a Tokyo release. Wanting to update discovery patterns to latest store release. Normally I would just install the latest version of "Discovery and Service Mapping" plugin, BUT I see in Tokyo release notes there is something new called "Visibility Content" plugin. I am not sure if I should install the latest "Discovery and Service Mapping" plugin, or the "Visibility Content" plugin?

Then the patterns under the "Global" application will only be updated during a release patch or upgrade.

"Visibility Content" and "Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns" are two different types of applications that can be used to monitor and manage IT infrastructure in an enterprise environment. GTA Portal Login

"Visibility Content" refers to the type of applications and data sources that provide information about the performance and health of IT systems and infrastructure. This can include network devices, servers, applications, and databases.

"Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns" are used to automatically discover and map the relationships between different components of the IT infrastructure, such as applications, databases, and network devices. This allows IT administrators to quickly understand the dependencies between different systems and how they impact each other, which can help improve overall IT management and resolve issues more quickly.

In summary, "Visibility Content" provides information about the state of IT systems, while "Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns" helps to understand the relationships between different systems and how they impact each other.
