what happens when u do a quick Discovery for this IP Only?
It Says About PAYLOAD Format means JSON may be Disturbed because of Some Special Character.

@Rahul Priyadars Thank you for the response.
I getting same error from quick Discovery as well and nothing mentioned in within the error message.
Here's the quick glance of the input payload (Pattern Launcher: Linux Server )
Is there anything I can do from ServiceNow on payload format or it needs to be communicated to client?

@Rahul Priyadars It is customized as per client's need.
Is there anything specific I can check which is causing this issue?
