Configuring the discovery profile

If you want to create application servers based on the active TCP/IP ports discovered, update the discovery profile for the Stack Scan sensor.

To configure the sensor to create application servers, complete the following steps:

  1. Create a new discovery profile based on a Agile Service Manager Level 1 profile.
  2. Create a new sensor configuration in the new profile based on the Stack Scan sensor configuration.
  3. In the new sensor configuration, set the enableNmapPortApplicationCreation property to true.

To configure the sensor to use winscanner, complete the following steps:

  1. Create a new discovery profile based on a Agile Service Manager Level 1 profile.
  2. Create a new sensor configuration in the new profile based on the Stack Scan sensor configuration.
  3. In the new sensor configuration, set the scanners property to nmap,winscanner.

You can further configure which application servers are to be created based on the discovered ports using the PortAppScanSensor.properties file located in the osgi\plugins\com.ibm.cdb.discover.sensor.idd.stackscan_7.5.4\etc directory. Specific instructions for modifying the association between ports and application servers appear at the top of the PortAppScanSensor.properties file.

Configuration errors in the PortAppScanSensor.properties file are reported in the PortAppScanSensor.errors file, located in the osgi\plugins\com.ibm.cdb.discover.sensor.idd.stackscan_7.5.4\etc directory.
