How can I control the order in which patterns run?

When running Cloud Discovery, is there a way to specify the order in which patterns execute?  let's say I want the AWS Network pattern to run first, then the database pattern, then some other pattern, etc....how do I do it?  From what I can tell, right now, it's alphabetical?? 

Thoughts?

Hi Thomas,
On a general level you can customize the order of "Classification" for Discovery. I assume that is what you are after?

Table: discovery_classy

 

When the first correct Classifier is found it then launches the corresponding correct Pattern. 

Kind regards,
Robin

Looking at that table, I don't see anything "AWS", "Amazon Web Services" or even "Amazon" in there. My guess is this table isn't used for Cloud Discovery.

Patterns dont have an order very similar to the ole probes and sensors, they all just go when called...

Honestly, I think it might be Alphabetical. 

 

So, there is a field on Discovery Status called "Progress".  Even though our Status can show "Completed", Progress will sometimes be less than 100%.  We have ones that will show 50%.   In those, it seems we never get to the Network pattern.  Unless I can figure out a way to get Progress to be 100%, I need a way to ensure that the important CI patterns at least get a chance to run.  I guess I'll open a ticket to HI about this.
