Hi Team,

 

1) What are the ways to know and reduce the number of license being used currently? How to Identify the CIs which is not required to be discovered?

 

2) I found one Service account (XYZ) is used to discover around 10K CIs where we do not require maximum of those CIs. I mean we need only 50-100 CIs to be discovered from that service account, so how can we stop discovering other more that 9K records for that service account?.

 

Thank you

is this for cloud discovery?

 

i guess you know not all CIs discovered are counted for licensing - so, counts are alone not sufficient to make a decision. e.g. there may 1000 storage buckets but we don't count these in licensing.

 

check out the tool called cloud license estimator - it is in innovation lab on store and it can help with report of counts of all resources - giving what's licensed or not.

not sure what this means " I could not find working on your work order approval for allocation. "
