    • Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application uses the WMB patterns to discover Integration Bus (formerly WebSphere Message Broker and IBM Integration Bus) and HTTP listeners running on both Linux and Windows. Discovering some of these resources may require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.

    Visit the ServiceNow Store to view all the available updates and for information about submitting requests to the store. For cumulative release notes information for all released apps, see the ServiceNow Store version history release notes.

    By default, Discovery uses the following patterns to perform the discovery:
    • WMB On UNIX
    • WMB On Windows
    • WMB HTTP Listener On UNIX
    • WMB HTTP Listener On Windows

    For a list of privileged commands that you need for Discovery and Service Mapping, see Service Mapping commands requiring a privileged user. This list includes commands that require elevated rights to discover and map Unix-based hosts in your organization.

    Note:
    For information on Probe to Pattern migration see the knowledge article KB0694477.
