Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Words and Phrases
| Search for | Example | Results |
|---|---|---|
| A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
|
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Using Boolean Operators
| Search for | Operator | Example |
|---|---|---|
|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
| Either word in a topic |
|
|
| Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
| Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
| A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

TCP Traffic Jobs
The TCP Data by Shell and TCP Data by SNMP jobs enable you to collect information about TCP traffic. These jobs do not send CIs to the CMDB but run queries against existing data in the Data Flow Probe's database.
These jobs are enhanced with the following parameters that enable you to capture TCP data and to configure the time delay between captures:
|
Parameter |
Description |
|---|---|
|
CaptureProcessInformation |
true: process information is captured and stored in the Data Flow Probe's database. No CIs are reported. Processes are captured with the same method as that used by the Host Resources and Applications job. For details on Host Resource jobs, see Host Resources and Applications Discovery. |
|
DelayBetweenTCPSnapshots |
The number of seconds between TCP snapshot captures. The default is 5 seconds. It can be useful to take several TCP snapshots during a single job invocation, to retrieve more detailed data. For example, when running the netstat -noa command on a remote Windows system to gather TCP information, this parameter can capture process information at 5-second intervals during the command run. |
|
NumberOfTCPSnapshots |
The number of TCP snapshots to take. |
|
lsofPath |
The path to the |
|
useLSOF |
true: discovery tries to use lsof utility to discover port-to-process mappings on UNIX machines. Default: True |
|
useNetstatOnly |
Specifies whether or not to run additional commands (lsof and pfiles) or to use the netstat command only. Default: False |
