The list of SSH commands with root privileges sudo right for Linux/Unix discovery

[Jae1]

Hi expert,

Since root privileges not granted, My customer is setting up non-root user with sudo right for Linux/Unix Discovery.
So, they're going to use Sudo right to run selected Linux/Unix commands as root for Discovery & Service Mapping.

Can you please provide the full list of the required commands to be added to /etc/sudoer?

Thanks in advance !

There's a Docs page devoted for this specific purpose.  Please review the link below:

Service Mapping commands requiring a privileged user | ServiceNow Docs

If you're just looking at Discovery and not Service Mapping, you can focus on the top section of the page that's broken down by OS.  I think the list above basically covers those, but the Docs get updated as things change with new releases, so it's a good page to bookmark.
