Passive Discovery Probes Pane

This pane enables you to globally configure notification types for all passive discovery probes that integrate with the Data Flow Probes of the same domain. The passive discovery probes notify UCMDB of changes in traffic, such as an unseen IP address or software not running.

To access Select Data Flow Management > Data Flow Probe Setup > Domains and Probes pane > a domain > Passive Discovery Probes.
Important information The definitions defined here are valid for all of the passive discovery probes that integrate with the Data Flow Probes of the same domain.

      • set the IP address as a candidate for deletion
      • remove the IP address from UCMDB
Report running software notifications

  • Reports new running software seen on the network

  • Reports unseen running software.

    • Select the amount of time that the passive probe should wait before triggering a notification that the software is not running.

    • After this notification is sent, the Data Flow Probe performs a verification. Select an action that should be taken upon verification:

      • set the RunningSoftware CI as a candidate for deletion
      • remove the RunningSoftware CI from UCMDB
Report dependency link notifications Enables notification of dependency relationships.
ClosedRemoval Verification Policy Pane

User interface elements are described below:

UI Element Description
Verify ports by scanning Enables verification of listening ports by scanning.
Ping configuration for verification process Enables you to specify the number and frequency of pings to verify unseen IP addresses before removal, as well as the overall number of simultaneous pings allowed.

Name The name given to the passive discovery probe (RUM Engine) when it was defined in RUM.
Status

Indicates the status of the passive discovery probe:

  • Connected. The passive discovery probe is connected and available to report information to the Data Flow Probe.

  • Suspended. The passive discovery probe is connected but not available to report information to the Data Flow Probe.

  • Disconnected. The passive discovery probe is not connected.
Version The RUM version.
