Hi,

Why would Discovery discover Monitors? - They do not have an IP Address connection. They are just physical peripherals on a device - desktop or laptop? These would also not be configuration items - but assets. An asset is not the same as a configuration item.

Monitors are generally considered “end-user devices” in ServiceNow Discovery, so they should get discovered by SCCM. But please have a check on your instance and if you have the CI Class as “Computer” then just try a simple quick discovery with the IP address.

 

Thanks,

Prashant Kumar

@doug_schulze - Can you please share the link again? We want to discover local devices connected to the computers. I know we create consumables but I have been asked so I am exploring our options.

I looks like they archived that one on me, this one might help but its all probe based where you would want to create an extension to the desktop pattern to do the wmi queries and populate as desired...  https://www.servicenow.com/community/itom-forum/custom-probe-sensor-windows-video-cards/td-p/959959
