CI Settings/Property to disable update from Discovery

manddar · ‎06-15-2014

Hi,

I have some CIs created manually in CMDB, however when Discovery started one of the CI (created manually) discovered and updated by discovery process.

I want to disable discovery update for some CIs, is it possible?

if yes, Please tell me the solution.

Thanks in advance

Hi Mandar,

If the IPs of the CIs you'd like Discovery to not update are encompassed in an IP range within one of your Discovery Schedules, it can be a pain to spit up that range into smaller slices to avoid Discovering them.

An easy way to ensure that those IPs won't be Discovered is to add them to the "Discovery Range Item Excludes" related list on the on the corresponding IP range within your Discovery Schedule.

I realize that the tool will not Discover IPs that you do not provide it with, but I'm hoping for a future enhancement to make exclusions easier - perhaps a list you could populate containing "IPs to never be Discovered" that would be excluded from all Discovery Schedules. Here's to hoping!
