Discovery identifies the following computers, clusters, and virtual
machines.
* **[AIX server discovery](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/1iBA9Q3Sa5Fwwa523wDV4g)**   
  Discovery identifies and classifies information about AIX servers.
* **[Apache HBase instance discovery](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/5KbdZYH04Us7PVY1mZW1Pg)**   
  Discovery creates or updates a CMDB record when it detects a running instance of HBase on a UNIX server.
* **[HP-UX discovery](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/T0N3TApOzT7I0pMnQLKq4Q)**   
  Discovery identifies and classifies information about HP-UX computers.
* **[Hyper-V discovery](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/_DDgdu_2_mrxibbUSPujlQ#r_DiscoveryForHyperV)**   
  The ServiceNow Discovery application finds Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisors in your environment.
* **[Red Hat JBoss server discovery](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/RCi_ul7hIhifNYrOH3w1uw)**   
  Discovery can detect JBoss application servers running on Linux and Windows systems.
* **[Linux discovery](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/tbWHQ8W2tJRHRooeehDOHA)**   
  Discovery and Service Mapping applications use probes and patterns to discover and map information about Linux computers and servers. The information is populated in the CMDB. Discovering some of these resources may require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.
* **[Netware discovery](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/gdnQIv1pPAaM5YsYC5mogw)**
