Hi @MK-p ,

You canFollow below steps

1. Navigate to Discovery > Behaviors and create new one.
2. Create Discovery functionality from related list.
3. Select the functionality definition for example if you want to apply only for window then select “Windows only”. You can define your won as well.
4. Provide phase in number line in which phase you want to run this.
5. Optionally you can define functionality criteria as well.
6. Use this in discovery schedule.

@MK-p do you have a STRONG and clear business case for using Behaviors with Discovery?  I ask because I strongly advise not using these unless there is a specific need for such.  Using Behaviors is troublesome but they can, in rare but specific cases, provide some value.   But generally speaking, discovery with behaviors is problematic.  Machines that have multiple protocols (like a Linux box that had SSH and SNMP both enabled with valid creds), can cause problems with behavior-only discovery.  Example - a behavior-based SNMP-only discovery might target a Linux box.. the discovery can incorrectly classify this linux machine via SNMP when it reality it should be discovered via SSH (using OOB patterns).

In short - avoid Behaviors unless you have a specific need to use them.  IMHO

I've been working with SN Discovery for +13 years and avoid Behaviors like the plague...  just sayin'

Hope this helps? Dave
