Does CI get discovered even it was marked as 'Retired'?

Hello, Does discovery still update the retired CIs? Thanks!

Yes, in my experience if the Name and Serial match, we will update it. I'll wait for others to chime in on how they handle this.

Out of the box yes it will discover and update it. It's one of those weird things where is it really retired if you can discover it? The other thing is that Service Mapping is different and will actually not discover it if it's marked as operational status = retired. Either way in general you may want to setup a process for these to flag them somehow so you can follow-up on them (or even used most recent discovery date to form a process). Thanks.
