Nutanix Discovery: How to restrict Nutanix Virtual Machine instance class to ve populated via Discov

[Nishant16]

We are running Nutanix Discovery using Nutanix Components Pattern (Serverless Discovery). I have a requirement to stop discovering the Nutanix Virtual Machine instance cmdb_ci_nutanix_vm_instance class through discovery since it is discovering retired VM's. Is there a way i can do this via updating patterns or any other probable way of doing this?

Hi,

Did you try deactivating step 31 in OOB pattern ?

I see this from 2 aspect - 

(1) Why a retired VM Instance exists at Nutanix end? I assume Resources must be reclaimed from VM Instance once Its retired. Please check this Process Also.

(2) From Service Now End - Check the Command in Pattern where its Picking VM Instance - You can put a Filter to Avoid Retired VM instance even processed by Service Now Discovery.
