# Configure ADM discovery parameters and properties

# Configure ADM discovery parameters and properties {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 10, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 2 minutes to read  
Using properties, you can enable or disable ADM discovery, and you can set the
location of the TCP tracking file for enhanced ADM.

## Before you begin

Role required: discovery_admin or admin

## About this task

You can also control both the size of the TCP tracking file and the payload using parameters on the enhanced ADM probes. See [TCP connection discovery](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/jQy1BT5FVx0Vg6cU1wJ1Lw "Discovery identifies and classifies information about TCP connections using the ADM and ADME probes.") for the names of the probes and parameters.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllSystem PropertiesDiscovery to set the system properties.
2. Navigate to Discovery DefinitionProbes to set the probe parameters.
3. Configure the following properties and probe parameters.  
   See the knowledge article [KB0822767](https://support.servicenow.com/kb_view.do?sysparm_article=KB0822767) for more information.  
   {#configuring-adm-disco__table_pg3_bfx_q1b__entry__3}

   | Probe parameter | System property | Description |
   |-|-|-|
   |   | glide.discovery.enable_adme | ADME: Enable enhanced ADM probe. If "yes", the ADM Enhanced probe is triggered and only fall back to the ADM probe as needed. * Type: true \| false * Default value: false {#configuring-adm-disco__ul_qg3_bfx_q1b} |
   |   | glide.discovery.application_mapping | Enable the application mapping feature. When this property is set to true, all discoveries trigger the relevant ADM probe during the exploration phase if Discovery finds a server. Important: Disabling this property disables the creation of relationships between applications but doesn't disable the ADM probes and sensors, nor does it prevent process classification. * Type: true \| false * Default value: true {#configuring-adm-disco__ul_xfv_jgx_q1b} |
   | sampling_interval | glide.discovery.adme.sampling_interval | ADME - Sampling interval (sec): How often to sample process and connection data in seconds. Must be a minimum of 5 seconds. * Type: integer * Default value: 120 {#configuring-adm-disco__ul_hzd_r34_zdb} |
   | base_dir | glide.discovery.adme.base_dir_unix | ADME - Unix Base Dir: An existing directory on the target UNIX machines to be used as a workspace. Must be an absolute path to the directory. The [UNIX and Linux credentials](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=r_SSHCredentialsForm&version=brazil&pubname=brazil-platform-security&ft:locale=en-US) that you use to connect to the device must also be able to access this folder. * Type: string * Default value: /tmp {#configuring-adm-disco__ul_rg3_bfx_q1b} |
   | powershell_param_base_dir | mid.powershell.target_base_dir | Powershell - Target Base Dir: A network share on the target Windows machines to be used as a workspace. If you change the directory, it must also be a network shared folder. * Type: string * Default value: admin$\\temp {#configuring-adm-disco__ul_sg3_bfx_q1b} |
   | aggregation_interval (Unix) powershell_param_aggregation_interval (Windows) | glide.discovery.adme.aggregation_interval | ADME - Aggregation interval (sec): How often to aggregate instantaneous data into chunks in seconds. It must be a minimum of 60 seconds and it must be a multiple of ADME Sampling interval. * Type: integer * Default value: 3600 {#configuring-adm-disco__ul_e2b_w34_zdb} |
   | rolling_window_size (Unix) powershell_param_rolling_window_size (Windows) | glide.discovery.adme.rolling_window_size | ADME - Rolling window size: How many recently aggregated chunks to keep. An aggregated chunk consists of ADME Aggregation interval divided by ADME Sampling interval samples. Only the newest chunks are kept. * Type: integer * Default value: 24 {#configuring-adm-disco__ul_mjh_w34_zdb} |
   | max_total_samples (Unix) powershell_param_max_total_samples (Windows) | glide.discovery.adme.max_total_samples | ADME - Max total samples: The limit of samples being taken by the script. The script will stop running after this number of samples are taken. * Type: integer * Default value: 100 {#configuring-adm-disco__ul_mpm_w34_zdb} |
   |   | mid.windows.management_protocol | MID Server parameter that selects the Windows management protocol used for device and process classification. Options include: * WMI * WinRM * Type: string * Default value: WMI |
   | powershell_param_max_result_payload_size (Windows) | \[OXY-PLACEHOLDER\] | ADME - Max result payload size: The maximum size of the ADME result payload. * Type: \[OXY-PLACEHOLDER\] * Default value: 4 MB |
