HP-UX discovery

Discovery identifies and classifies information about HP-UX computers.

Credentials

Configure SSH credentials.

For a list of privileged commands that you need for Discovery and Service Mapping, see Service Mapping commands requiring a privileged user. This list includes commands that require elevated rights to discover and map Unix-based hosts in your organization.

Note: For information on Probe to Pattern migration see the knowledge article KB0694477.

Classifier, probes, and pattern

ClassifierProbesPattern
HP-UX\(Unix classifier\)- Horizontal discovery probe: launches patterns - HP-UX - Installed Software^ - HP-UX - ADM^ - HP-UX - OS Patches\* - HP-UX - CPU Speed\* - HP-UX - Total Memory\* - HP-UX - Hardware Model\* - HP-UX - CPU Info\* - HP-UX - Identity\* - UNIX - Find FQDN\* - UNIX - OS Filesystems\* - UNIX - OS Uptime\*HP-UX Server

*These probes aren't active on the classifier, as Discovery uses patterns by default for these discoveries.

^These probes remain active by default, even when Discovery uses pattern discovery.

To use patterns, verify that the correct pattern is specified in the horizontal pattern probe on the classifier. See Add the Horizontal Pattern probe to a classifier for instructions.

Data collected

Note: See the knowledge article KB0687582 for information on model_id and manufacturer.
