HTTPClassyProbe , whats this probe

Nik Amy · ‎04-11-2019

Hi,

When I am running a discovery against a IP, I see below logs:

Whats that HTTPClassyProbe ? Error message: Active, couldn't classify

HI,

This are probes which use basic authentication rather than SNMP Credentails or SSH Credentials.

When you SNMP Classifier probe fails then HTTP Classy Probe is used to gather information using REST Calls and HTTP protocols.

Hi @Ashutosh Munot1 ,

How to avoid HTTP Classy Probe should not trigger while discovery. Actually I am also facing this issue. It is using some Basic Auth credentials. Due to this, there are security failed login attempts are reported by our security team.

How to avoid this.
