Discovery Pattern Design Questions
Pattern Designer operations, syntax, variables, regex, and application identification sections for horizontal and top-down discovery.
About Discovery Pattern Design
Discovery patterns are reusable templates that define how Discovery collects data from devices. The Pattern Designer allows you to create, debug, and manage patterns for both horizontal (infrastructure) and application discovery.
Why This Matters for Your Exam
Pattern Design is 35% of the CIS-Discovery exam. Expect questions on Pattern Designer operations, parsing strategies, variable syntax, regex, and the difference between horizontal and application patterns.
Key Concepts to Master
Master Pattern Designer debugging, step types (Match, Parse variable, Parse file), variable and attribute syntax, regular expressions, and how application identification sections work with process classification.
Exam Tips
Remember that horizontal patterns use PIDs while top-down (Service Mapping) patterns use entry points. Know how to use Debug Mode and understand the HorizontalDiscoveryProbe. Application patterns require a corresponding CI type and classification.
