View the results of command validation tasks to verify you have the correct credentials and permissions to run pattern-based discovery successfully.

## Before you begin

* Verify that Pattern Designer Enhancements (sn_itom_pde) is installed.
* Verify that a command validation task has been created. For more information, see [Validate commands used in pattern-based discovery](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/tJclIOdpx59diE4aaqewew "Validate pattern commands to verify that the MID Server can successfully run them. Typically, commands might fail if you haven't configured the credentials necessary to run these commands on your ServiceNow instance. Another common reason of command failure is that the IP addresses used for discovery aren’t reachable.").  
Role required: One of the following.

* discovery_admin
* pde_viewer (starting with Pattern Designer Enhancements version 3.9.0)
