Pattern operations are the building blocks of patterns that define the logic and actions to perform on the target CIs. Some pattern operations query targets to retrieve information or execute commands, while others manipulate data or perform other tasks. WMI Query and Get Process are examples of pattern operations that query targets. WMI Query executes a Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) query on a Windows target and stores the results in a variable. Get Process executes a command to list the processes running on a target and stores the results in a variable12.

The MID Server parameters like 'mid.ssh.session_timeout', 'url', and 'mid.windows.management_protocol' can be modified through the ServiceNow platform UI under the MID Server configuration settings. These parameters control various aspects of the MID Server's operation, such as timeout settings for SSH sessions, the URL for the MID Server to communicate with the ServiceNow instance, and the management protocol to use for Windows servers, respectively. The 'name' of the MID Server, however, is not typically a parameter that can be changed through the UI as it is a unique identifier for the MID Server within the ServiceNow instance. Once a MID Server is registered with a name, that name is usually persistent and not intended to be modified through configuration settings.

For ServiceNow Discovery to detect a Windows device, the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service needs to be running on the host. WMI is a Windows feature that provides a standardized way to access management information about operating system components and services. Discovery uses WMI to query Windows hosts for information about their hardware, software, and system configuration. SSH is used for Unix-like systems, WinRM is an alternative Windows management protocol, and CIM (Common Information Model) is a cross-platform standard; however, WMI is the primary service used for Windows device discovery.
