Table 9.13: Expert - Ports - Hostname Discovery Fields
Fields Accepted Values
Hostname Discovery Probe Strings A list of strings, delimited by double quotes (“) and separated by
spaces. The following C-style escape sequences are accepted: “\n”
(new line; “\r” (carriage return); “\t” (horizontal tabulation); “\f” (form-
feed); “\\” ((backslash) and “\”” (double-quote). Probe strings can
have more than one escape sequence and use regular characters,
but simpler sequences such as “\r” or “\n” are recommended. “\n” is
the default if no strings are defined.
Hostname Discover Answer Strings A list of strings, delimited by double quotes (“) and separated by
spaces. Must be written as POSIX extended regular expressions. If
no strings are defined, then “([A-Za-z0-9\\.-_]+)[ ]+[Ll]ogin[:]?[ ]?$” is
the default. If the user regex has more than one group, then only the
first group is matched.
