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.
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. |
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 |
|
Additional Requirements
Data Flow Probe Requirements
- Hardware Requirements
- Software Requirements
- Supported Databases
- Virtual Environment and Cloud Environment Requirements
- Passive Discovery Integration
Computer/processor |
Recommended:The latest generation of Intel/AMD processors (Intel Xeon CPUs or compatible) and the fastest possible processor speed CPU Cores:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
Memory |
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
Memory swap file |
Windows: The virtual memory for Windows should be at least 1.5 times the size of the physical memory. Linux: The Linux swap file size should be equal in size to the physical memory. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
Free hard disk space |
Small/Standard: 100 GB (Note: 75 out of 100 GB disk space is required for scan files storage) Enterprise: 300 GB (Note: 225 out of 300 GB disk space is required for scan files storage) Note Support for Storage Area Network (SAN) is available for usable disk space for Data Flow Probe. You can install Data Flow Probe on Storage Area Network (SAN) disk storage attached to a server. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
Display |
Windows/Linux: Color palette setting of at least 256 colors (32,000 colors recommended) |
Note
-
The XML Enricher (with OOTB configuration of two threads) would use a total of 4~5 GB memory for processing scan files on the probe. If scan files are large, you need to add another 1~2 GB memory for the XML Enricher.
-
The XML Enricher must be configured to match the deployment mode of the probe. For details, see How to Configure XML Enricher to Suit the Probe Deployment Mode.
For more information about data flow probe sizing considerations, see Sizing.
Note For Linux platforms, only integrations are supported, not discovery. For details, see How to Run Module/Job-based Discovery in the Universal CMDB Data Flow Management Guide.
