Hi @Insomaniac,

Yes of course you can. Just disable the pattern that populates the CI type that is not needed.

Hi @SiD2,

I want to skip "cmdb_ci_compute_template" discovered on Azure. Should I simply uncheck "Active" on the "Azure - Hardware Type (LP)" pattern?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Marek Meres 

Yes, and save and publish the pattern and in next run it doesn't execute.

But there's a caveat here that all further child patterns that are dependent on this pattern also doesn't get executed.

Thank you @SiD2 , but how can I determine which patterns depend on this pattern? In the Patter Designer I cannot find any hint.

If I wanted to switch off also discovering all cmdb_ci_cmp_resource should I switch off 'Azure Resource Inventory' completely? I have found this community post and this docs page suggesting switching off individual resources but as my client does not want ANY cmdb_ci_cmp_resource CIs I guess switching off the whole pattern is the right way (as removing all records from the sa_cloud_inventory_resource_whitelist would cause ALL Azure resources to be collected by the pattern.... (if I read the docs correctly)). Kindly please confirm, thank you in advance!
