Workaround The Agent Client Collector for Visibility - Content default checks and policies page is not quite published yet. The extra bits from the draft version are:

ACC-VC policies

Name Description Checks File-based Discovery background policy Takes the config file as input from the instance to an agent. Scans the system using config file parameters and stores the output on the agent. Runs on the agent when file-based discovery is invoked. For details, see File-based Discovery . File-based discovery background File-based Discovery policy Collects the output file from the agent. Sends the collected information to the configuration tables. Runs on the agent when file-based discovery is invoked. For details, see File-based Discovery .

Note:

During file-based discovery on a Windows system, the servicenow user does not have the necessary permissions. Therefore, manually grant the List Folder Contents permission to the folder you want to scan.

To ensure successful retrieval of the file version, run the agent as the local system account user instead of the servicenow user
