What is the correct order of port probe methods used in ServiceNow Discovery?

The correct order of port probe methods used in ServiceNow Discovery is based on the sequence that reflects the established priority for discovering IT infrastructure components. The order begins with WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation), which is utilized predominantly for Windows devices, allowing for detailed insights into hardware, software, and system configurations. Following WMI, SSH (Secure Shell) is employed, which is essential for managing network devices and Unix/Linux systems securely.

Next in the sequence is SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), widely used for network monitoring and management across various devices, including servers and routers. Finally, HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is used for probing web-based services and applications.

This structured approach helps ensure that each method is applied appropriately based on the device types being discovered, allowing for efficient data collection and accurate inventory management within the ServiceNow platform. Understanding the priority of these probes is crucial for effective discovery processes, ensuring that the most relevant and optimal methods are utilized first.
