Our customer is using ITOM  agent-less discovery. They have Mainframes that they want to discover. They are able to discover the Z/OS information and this only provides Name, OS and OS Version, Manufacturer and Serial Number as documented in the product doc (https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/utah-it-operations-management/page/product/discovery/concept/zOS-...),

 

They are asking how to discover the applications in the Mainframe eg DB2, CA1, IBM Tivoli.

Have anyone else encounter the same customer request before and if so, how can it be done?

Can they write custom patterns/scripts and if yes are there any samples?

Thanks!

DB2 --> https://docs.servicenow.com/en-US/bundle/tokyo-it-operations-management/page/product/service-mapping...

 

IBM Tivoli- is a monitoring tool which must have its own set of server and resources. IBM tivoli infra discovery do not need anything extra
