1.I have setup VCenter Cloud discovery schedule and It could find the windows servers

2.It couldn't able to classify only Linux servers , do i need to setup SSH credential separately ? or do i miss any other configuration ?

3.Do i need to enable ports for all esx servers separately if i do Cloud discovery ?

4.I have setup proper VMware credential following below conditions 

"The VMware credentials must have read-only role and License Admin privilege in vCenter..  The credential must be given "Read-Only" defined at "Global".

Cloud discovery won't bring devices to the cmdb_ci_linux_server table, it will bring devices only on VMware instance table ( cmdb_ci_vmware_instance)

Is it a Esx server on Linux server or its hosted on appliance?. If it's an Esx appliance then service now cannot discover the appliance device.

If it's a Linux server then ssh port needs to be opened, also you need ssh credential
