What is required to process data returned by probes?

To effectively process data returned by probes in ServiceNow Discovery, a sensor is essential. Sensors are components that analyze the data collected by probes and then transform that information into a format that can be utilized within the ServiceNow platform. They play a crucial role in interpreting the raw data by extracting pertinent details about the discovered items, such as applications, devices, and their attributes.

Without sensors, the data from probes would remain unprocessed and unusable for creating a comprehensive view of the IT infrastructure being monitored. Sensors ensure that relevant information is captured and made actionable within the ServiceNow ecosystem, facilitating effective management and visibility of IT resources.
