Disable Use of Credentials for Application Discovery

We are currently discovering MS SQL servers, however during discovery the MID Server  attempts to log into the SQL application and doesn't have the correct credentials. As a result we get a lot of errors for failed login attempts on the SQL server, is there a way to disable the use of credentials for an application server so that it doesn't generate the login errors anymore?

Hi,

Some Discovery patterns needs Applicative credentials to login to the application it is discovering. Without these credentials the pattern will not be able to fetch all the data. This is how the patterns are designed and you should strive to use applicative credentials where needed.

https://docs.servicenow.com/en-US/bundle/utah-platform-security/page/product/credentials/reference/a...

To my knowledge the only way to disable the need for credentials is to modify the patterns and remove the steps that requires Applicative credentials. That's not something I would recommend. I would say either get the credentials in there or live with the errors. 

Regards,
Niklas
