How can I control the order in which patterns run?

[Thomas Powe]

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, 

For cloud discovery, patterns gets triggered as per "sn_pattern_trigger_rule" table. Pattern gets triggered once corresponding Parent Pattern execution gets complete.

Ex - "Amazon AWS - Sub Account (LP)" pattern gets triggered after "Amazon AWS Service Account" pattern and "Amazon AWS Datacenters Discovery" starts after "Amazon AWS - Sub Account (LP)" pattern.

Hi Shreya,

That is not entirely true.  I have custom patterns that get triggered and they are not listed in this table.  So, that table might be part of the overall picture....but there is more to it.   

In that table you listed, I don't see a sort order.  Do we know if it triggers in any specific order?

Hi Thomas,
Did you get any support from HI team regarding this pattern trigger conditions?
I am looking for the same.

Soudamini,  I never got any support.  I don't think it's possible.  Shame....

Hi, Pattern execution is purely random. If you want it to have a specified sequence, you can use Pattern Orchestrator to achieve this.
