If you customize an identify multi-probe, you can also configure a multi-sensor for
it.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: discovery_admin or admin

## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

These multi-sensors pass the data returned by the identity probes to the Discovery identifiers. The
identifiers then search the CMDB for matching CIs. When the identity of a device is
resolved, the identifiers pass the result state for the device to the multi-sensors,
which react accordingly, either by launching exploration probes or stopping Discovery for that device.

## Prozedur

1. Navigate to AllDiscovery DefinitionSensors.
2. Select an existing identity multi-sensors from the list.  
   Hinweis:  
   To avoid confusion, the multi-sensors provided in the instance must have the same names as their matching multi-probes.  
   The Responds to Probes related list shows the simple
   probes which pass their data to this multi-sensors. These are the same
   simple probes that appear in the Includes Probes list in the matching
   multi-probes record.
3. Click the Script link for each probe in the list to see the script that the multi-sensors runs to process the data from the probe.

## Nächste Maßnahme

Run a discovery through the [Discovery
Schedule](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/2aizkyr5X8Yrzi2WXW~chQ#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.") to search for CIs and verify that they are identified correctly in the CMDB.
