What data can be drilled down from the Discovery Status record?

The Discovery Status record is a crucial element within the Discovery process in ServiceNow, as it provides insights and management capabilities regarding ongoing and completed discovery tasks. The ability to drill down into probe and sensor logs is particularly important because these logs contain valuable information regarding the interactions that occurred during the discovery process.

Probes are the components that gather data from devices on the network, while sensors process this data to extract meaningful information about IT infrastructure. Accessing probe and sensor logs allows administrators and users to troubleshoot issues, understand what was discovered, and ensure that the discovery process is functioning correctly.

Data types such as network traffic statistics, recent user interactions, and error reports from previous discoveries are not typically directly accessible through the Discovery Status record in the same manner. While these elements may play a role in the overall context of discovery operations, the logs provide a more immediate and technical overview of the status and functioning of the discovery itself. Thus, drilling down into probe and sensor logs is vital for successful management and optimization of the discovery process in ServiceNow.
