# Red Hat Podman

# Red Hat Podman pattern-based discovery {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 10, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns uses the Red Hat - Podman pattern to find Podman container engines running on UNIX servers. Discovering some of these resources might require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.

## Pattern-based discovery and mapping requirements {#red-hat-podman-pattern__section_prerequisites}

Verify that the following applications are up to date
:
    * Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns
    * Visibility Content
    * CMDB CI Class Models
    * ITOM Content Service
    {#red-hat-podman-pattern__ul_apps}

Create SSH credentials
:   For more information, see [SSH credentials](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=r_SSHCredentialsForm&version=brazil&pubname=brazil-platform-security&ft:locale=en-US).

Verify permission to run the version command
:   Verify you have permission for the following command: `{process.executablePath} --version`.

Schedule a horizontal discovery
:   For more information, see [Schedule a horizontal discovery](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/A3BVdNwrtvD7FvMzmPuJVA#t_CreateADiscoverySchedule "A discovery schedule determines what horizontal discovery searches for, when it runs, and which MID Servers are used. Create a discovery schedule for your local environment or a schedule for discovering the resources in your cloud service account.").

## Data collected by Discovery during horizontal discovery {#red-hat-podman-pattern__section_data_collected}

Discovery populates the data in the CMDB when running the Red Hat - Podman pattern.

If you have the Software Asset Management Core (com.snc.sam.core) or Software Asset Management (com.snc.software_asset_management) plugins, Discovery also populates the Software Installation \[cmdb_sam_sw_install\] table.
