How to Discover Host Resources and Applications

This task includes the following steps:

Prerequisites - Set up protocol credentials
To run this module, define the following protocols:
- NTCMD Protocol
- SNMP Protocol
- SSH Protocol
- Telnet Protocol
- WMI Protocol
Users do not need root permissions, but do need the appropriate credentials to enable connecting to the remote machines and running the relevant commands.

For credential information, see Supported Protocols.
Prerequisites - Other

Verify that the CMDB already contains the Agent and Shell CITs: Modeling > CI Type Manager. Search for RunningSoftware, and verify that Agent and Shell are present:
Run the Host Resources by Shell/SNMP/WMI and Host Applications by Shell/SNMP/WMI discovery

Activate the relevant Host Resources by Shell/SNMP/WMI and Host Applications by Shell/SNMP/WMI jobs.

The former jobs discover resources that exist on a node (for example, Disk, CPU, Users) and the latter discover applications that run on that host. (See Application Signatures.) The jobs are scheduled to run every day.
