What type of log does the Discovery Pattern Log include?

The Discovery Pattern Log specifically includes Horizontal Discovery log records. This type of log is vital in the context of ServiceNow Discovery, as it captures the details related to the horizontal discovery attempts made by the system. Horizontal Discovery refers to the process of identifying devices and their network relationships within a designated environment, allowing for the mapping and documentation of various components across the network.

The information within the Horizontal Discovery log records is crucial for troubleshooting, analysis, and ensuring that the discovery process is functioning effectively. It helps administrators understand which devices were successfully discovered, which patterns were used, and how well the discovery process has performed over time.

In contrast, the other types of logs mentioned do not specifically pertain to the purpose of the Discovery Pattern Log. Data integration logs focus on the synchronization and movement of data between different systems; service outage logs record issues affecting service availability; and configuration change logs track alterations to settings and configurations within the IT environment. Each of these serves distinct purposes unrelated to the specifics of the horizontal discovery processes captured in the Discovery Pattern Log.
