Can I delete software discovery models?

Paul125 · ‎10-10-2018

Hello, we have ton of software discovery models that are no longer useful. We don't want to create any Software models for something that is no longer in our environment. We are trying to get rid off these discovery models. Can I simply delete them? Will they discover back again? Please give me some more insight into removal process. Thanks!

Hi Paul,

When it comes to models you often will like to have a rich set of possible "Models". There's no a harm around keeping these. In fact, some companies actually sell an entire list of "Models" to have a rich / normalized CMDB.

You may want to think again if there's any real downsides behind keeping those "old" models vs keeping those in there in case the related software appears again in your environment.

Thanks,

Berny

Hi Paul, do you believe we can mark one of these responses as correct so that we can close this thread?

Thanks,
