In which scenario would a probe be sent to specific systems based on their trigger probe list?

A probe being sent to specific systems based on their trigger probe list is primarily executed when categorization criteria are met. This means that specific conditions or attributes that pertain to certain devices are identified, prompting the discovery process to collect more focused information about those devices.

In ServiceNow Discovery, the trigger probe list determines which probes are applicable based on certain classifications of the device, such as its operating system, hardware configuration, or network settings. When the system evaluates these parameters and finds that they align with predetermined conditions, it initiates the appropriate probes designed for gathering detailed information about that category of devices.

Thus, the key point is that the discovery process relies heavily on the specific configuration and categorization of devices, making it essential to ensure that probing is conducted intelligently rather than indiscriminately. This enhances efficiency and accuracy in gathering data for systems covered under the relevant trigger probe list.
