Configuring the Discovery Sensor for OT provides discovery of all assets in your OT environment. The Sensor requires a Linux operating system that is installed either as a virtual machine or on a Bare-metal computer that is
x86.

## Discovery Sensor for OT System requirements {#configure-discovery-sensor-ot__section_ust_3rx_vgc}

Review the steps in the Sensor installation process from the table.

|-|-|
| **Task** | **Description** |
| Navigate to the Download \& Deploy OT Discovery page. | In the ServiceNow instance, navigate to the Service Graph Connector for ServiceNow Operational Technology (OT) Discovery Guided Setup page and select Download \& Deploy OT Discovery. |
| The Downloads page opens. | Download the Discovery Sensor for OT package. |
| EULA Agreement | Ready the EULA appears on the Downloads page. Accept the EULA by checking the box next to Agree. |
| ISO image | Unzip the Sensor package. The ISO image is included in the Sensor package. |
| Create a virtual machine. | Select Other Linux 64-bit as the OS. |
| CD/DVD | Attach the Sensor ISO to the CD/DVD to boot the VM. |
| Run the installation. | Follow the installation steps in [Install the Discovery Sensor for OT](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/OJuXqmqBhMz1mScEXI75IA "Download the Discovery Sensor for OT package and install the ISO image. Then install the Discovery Sensor for OT."). |
| Register the Sensor | Register the Sensor with the DMI and Console. This confirms that the Console and Sensor can communicate with each other. For more information, see [Register the Discovery Sensor for OT](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/H7leHGUpSyNH_uLSi~BbIg "When you have installed the Discovery Console for OT and the Discovery Sensor for OT, register the Sensor to the Console with the Console's Device Management Interface (DMI).") for more information. |

{#configure-discovery-sensor-ot__table_xsx_5vd_f3c}
* **[Install the Discovery Sensor for OT](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/OJuXqmqBhMz1mScEXI75IA)**   
  Download the Discovery Sensor for OT package and install the ISO image. Then install the Discovery Sensor for OT.
* **[Register the Discovery Sensor for OT](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/H7leHGUpSyNH_uLSi~BbIg)**   
  When you have installed the Discovery Console for OT and the Discovery Sensor for OT, register the Sensor to the Console with the Console's Device Management Interface (DMI).
* **[Device Management Interface](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/rdBFNu3Q5uIiLZGO_YkPjw)**   
  The Device Management Interface (DMI) is a web-based interface where you configure and register a Discovery Sensor for OT to the Discovery Console for OT.
* **[Deregister a Discovery Sensor for OT](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/GAQXT3~1BqaPbS~B5IdCKw)**   
  Deregister a Discovery Sensor for OT from the Discovery Console for OT that is no longer available on your system.
* **[Remove a lost Sensor](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/yQE3N0gnT_W8KZ3_zbUs_A)**   
  Remove a Sensor that no longer functions or is otherwise reported as having a lost connection from the Discovery Console for OT.
