What are the steps involved in creating a Process Classifier?

Creating a Process Classifier involves several crucial steps to ensure that it accurately identifies and categorizes running processes on devices within the network. The correct sequence includes locating the device, identifying the running processes on it, and then executing a discovery to capture the necessary attributes and behaviors associated with each process.

Locating the device is essential as it establishes the target for the classification task. Once the device is identified, analyzing the running processes allows the implementation specialist to gather relevant data about what is currently active on that device. This step is critical because the characteristics of these processes inform how they should be classified. Finally, executing discovery facilitates the collection of detailed information on these processes, enabling the creation of a comprehensive and effective classifier.

This sequence ensures a systematic approach to gathering and utilizing data effectively for process classification, making it pivotal for setting up the Process Classifier accurately in the context of the overall Discovery process.
