* ![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read

Discovery identifies and classifies information about HP-UX computers.

## Credentials {#r_DataCollDiscoHPUXComputers__section_ovh_3lf_nbb}

Configure [SSH credentials](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=r_SSHCredentialsForm&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-platform-security&ft:locale=en-US).

For a list of privileged commands that you need for Discovery
and Service Mapping, see [Service Mapping commands requiring a privileged user](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/KmX~uDsV3RoqnUbrW~2SFA "Service Mapping uses commands requiring elevated rights to discover and map Unix-based hosts in your organization. In addition to configuring necessary credentials, configure servers in your organization to allow Service Mapping to run these commands with elevated rights."). This list
includes commands that require elevated rights to discover and map Unix-based hosts in
your organization.
Note:  
For information on Probe to Pattern migration see the knowledge article [KB0694477](https://support.servicenow.com/kb_view.do?sysparm_article=KB0694477).

## Classifier, probes, and pattern {#r_DataCollDiscoHPUXComputers__section_b3q_3lf_nbb}

\*These probes aren't active on the classifier, as Discovery uses patterns by default for these discoveries.

\^These probes remain active by default, even when Discovery uses pattern discovery.

To use patterns, verify that the correct pattern is specified in the horizontal pattern probe on the classifier. See [Add the Horizontal Pattern probe to a classifier](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/F1AaGd2A7GKs7d9ZAQQp5w#t_AddHorizontalPatternProbe "To use a pattern for the identification and exploration phases of horizontal discovery, you must add the Horizontal Pattern probe to the classifiers for the CIs are you trying to discover.") for instructions.
