Deletion Strategy

[Rakesh75]

HI Team,

Can any one suggest ,how do i find out what all the discoveries are using probes.

We have migrated to pattern long back (Orlando). Now as the deletion strategy works only in patterns and not on probes.

How can check which Configuration item or discovery which are using only probes.

This is how it works-

After you discover the main CI and its related CIs for the first time with a pattern, Discovery puts an entry into the Related CI Types [sa_ci_to_pattern] table for each relation between the main CI a related CI type. These records are where you determine the deletion strategy for each related CI by the type to which it belongs. You cannot set a deletion strategy for the main CI, except for AWS and Azure cloud databases.

Hi Rakesh,

You can find from this table 'discovery_classifier_probe' where you have the classifier and which probe or discovery pattern it uses.

HI Vivek,

Thanks for replying , So with this filter i can see all the probes which is not part of horizontal pattern.

So does this mean that all the discovery which is using these classifier ,cannot be added to deletion strategy ?

[VivekSattanatha]

yes! As you said the probes doesnt use the deletion strategy
