Hii All,

 

We have a requirement to restrict insertion or updation of software installations in cmdb_sam_sw_install table through discovery for servers, since we want this to be updated via tanium only . What will be the best approach to disable it through discovery . 

 

I have disabled software filter for both unix and windows under discovery configuration console , but still insertion is happening.  Not able to restrict it through  IRE  since it is not visible in class manager.

 

Can anyone suggest the best approach on this ?

@Dharani7  If the software installations are updated with Patterns from Discovery, find those patterns and disable them. 

Try running discovery for one server and then you can easily find the pattern in the discovery logs. 

Is tanium is updating this table through API?
