ServiceNow Discovery runs on a schedule. Between runs the CMDB drifts, and the gap gets filled with manual configuration and educated guesses. In estates where assets appear and disappear between scan windows, that drift is structural rather than a tuning problem.
Mugato adds continuous, zero-touch discovery underneath ServiceNow. Agentless collection identifies and catalogs every IT, IoT, OT and public cloud device, application and interaction, then writes verified meta-information into the CMDB automatically. If it has an IP address, we'll find it.
Mugato doesn't replace your ITSM tools. This brief sets out what it adds to them.
