    Por Que e Quando Desempenhar Esta Tarefa

    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.

    Procedimento

    1. Navigate to All > Discovery Definition > Sensors.
    2. Select an existing identity multi-sensors from the list.
      Nota:
      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.

    O que Fazer Depois

    Run a discovery through the Discovery Schedule to search for CIs and verify that they are identified correctly in the CMDB.
