Where are horizontal discovery probes added?

Horizontal discovery probes are specifically used within a classifier context to identify and classify devices based on their attributes. They are integral to the classification process, which involves determining the type of device and its associated characteristics during the discovery phase. These probes are typically added to the classifier's list of trigger probes to initiate the discovery of relevant devices and services based on the data that is being collected.

The classifier utilizes these horizontal probes to gather information from various aspects of a device, enabling more precise classification and deeper insight into the environment being monitored. This mechanism is essential for ensuring that the discovery process runs smoothly and that the resulting information is accurate and comprehensive.

In contrast, areas such as sensors, general probe settings, and MID Server management focus on different functionalities within ServiceNow Discovery. Sensors deal with specific types of information, general settings pertain to overall configurations, and MID Server management is related to the deployment and control of MID Servers in the environment.
