CIS-Discovery Exam Dumps : Certified Implementation Specialist - Discovery

The Shazzam Batch Size property determines how many IP addresses are scanned by a single Shazzam probe1. If this value is set to 1000 and a discovery must scan 10,000 IP addresses using a single MID Server, it creates 10 Shazzam probes with each probe scanning 1000 IP addresses. This property can be configured in the Discovery Properties module under Discovery Definition2.

 The WMI service is a Windows service that enables remote management of Windows devices using the WMI protocol. The WMI service is required for Discovery to access the configuration and status information of Windows devices using WMI queries. If the WMI service is not running on a host, it will prevent the discovery of Windows devices, as Discovery will not be able to communicate with the WMI Collector or execute WMI queries on the target device123.

The Pattern Designer is a graphical tool that allows users to create and edit horizontal discovery patterns. The Pattern Designer has three main sections: the left section shows the CI type and the pattern type, the middle section shows the pattern steps and the flow diagram, and the far-right section shows the details of the selected step or operation. The far-right section can display the following tabs, depending on the type of step or operation selected12:

Operations: This tab shows the list of available operations that can be added to the pattern, such as Execute Command, Parse File, Set Parameter Value, etc. Operations are the basic building blocks of a pattern that perform specific actions on the target device or the MID Server.

CI Attributes: This tab shows the list of attributes that can be set or updated for the CI type of the pattern, such as name, serial number, manufacturer, etc. CI attributes are used to populate the CI record in the CMDB with the information collected by the pattern.

Temporary Variables: This tab shows the list of temporary variables that can be created or used by the pattern, such as $result, $output, $user_var, etc. Temporary variables are used to store and manipulate data within the pattern, such as the output of a command, the value of a parameter, or the result of a calculation.

CMDB Dashboard: This tab shows the CMDB dashboard that displays the CI record and its related lists, such as relationships, identification rules, sensors, etc. The CMDB dashboard is used to preview and verify the outcome of the pattern on the CI record in the CMDB.
