About Discovery Configuration
Discovery configuration involves setting up credentials, behaviors, schedules, and understanding the four-phase PCIE process (Scanning, Classification, Identification, Exploration) that Discovery uses to populate the CMDB.
Why This Matters for Your Exam
Discovery Configuration is 35% of the CIS-Discovery exam. Questions cover credential types (Windows, SSH, SNMP, PowerShell), behaviors, discovery schedules, the PCIE phases, ECC Queue, and troubleshooting common errors.
Key Concepts to Master
Understand credential types and their authentication phases, credential aliases and affinities, behaviors for specific device types, discovery schedules, and how to interpret discovery status and errors.
Exam Tips
Know that Windows/SSH authentication happens during Classification. Understand credential-less discovery using Nmap. Remember the four PCIE phases and what happens in each. Be familiar with common discovery errors and their resolution.
