    Procédure

    1. On your instance, navigate to the Service Graph Connector for ServiceNow OT Discovery Guided Setup page.
    2. In the first section, select Download & Deploy OT Discovery.
      The Download & Deploy OT Discovery page opens.
    3. Select Configure.
      The Download page opens.
    4. On the Download page, download the OT Discovery Collector Linux package.
      Remarque :
      Read the End User License Agreement (EULA) carefully and then check Agree.
    5. Install the Collector on the Discovery Console for OT you intend to use.
      Remarque :
      If you have a closed network, download the containerized version of the Collector. A host, such as Windows or Linux, is required in order to run the container.
    6. On a RHEL-based distribution, install tar. 
      sudo dnf install -y tar
    7. On all Linux distributions, run the following command: 
      tar -xvf linuxCollectorinstaller_[version number]_[build number].tar.gz
    8. Copy the CollectorBundle file into the CollectorInstaller directory. 
      chmod +x Collector-init.sh

./Collector-init.sh
    9. When the script starts, the system locates the pdf version of the EULA.

      When prompted to accept the EULA, enter Y for yes.

    10. After the script completes successfully, the OT Discovery Collector can be seen in the console.

      To check the service status, run this command: systemctl status SNDiscoveryCollector. If you would like to view the journal output for the service to troubleshoot issues, as the root user you can run journalctl -f -a -u SNDiscoveryCollector.
