For which protocol can you write new probes?

The correct answer identifies the protocols for which you can write new probes, specifically WMI, SNMP, and SSH.

WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) is widely used for managing Windows operating systems and applications, allowing for detailed machine data collection and querying. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is essential in network management and monitoring devices like routers and switches. SSH (Secure Shell) is a protocol that enables secure remote access to systems, making it useful for gathering information about devices in a secure manner.

Each of these protocols serves a unique role in ServiceNow Discovery, contributing to the breadth of data collection and management capabilities across diverse IT environments. The flexibility to write new probes for these protocols enhances the ability to customize data collection methods to fit specific organizational needs and requirements.

The other listed combinations either include protocols that do not support custom probes or miss out on one or more of the relevant protocols that do. For instance, FTP is primarily used for file transfers rather than system discovery, while SFTP, a secure version of FTP, does not typically support direct system discovery through custom probes like SNMP and WMI do. Thus, the combination of WMI, SNMP, and SSH in the correct answer aligns perfectly with the protocols that allow
