Hi All,

 

As part of my current discovery solution Servicenow is discovering some redundant data that I do not require and to maintain a lean CMDB I wish to disable discovery of those CI Classes. But I am unable to figure out how to do so, for example I want to disable software discovery and disabled all discovery patterns with ' - installed software' in it. But still software is getting discovered and upon checking I found 'WMI - Installed Software' pattern is discovering software info, but I am not able to find that specific pattern in discovery pattern list.

It is one of the many classes I wish to disable discovery for whose options are not available also in Discovery Console.

Any suggestions please.

 

Regards,

Debjit

Hi Deb,

 

Try these options as below options. I will check if there OOB option available,

 

1. Create an ACL on that table that does not allow the create operation for any users with the mid_server role. This would prevent any creations from taking place.

2. Build a business rule to flag the creation of any records in a specific table that are created with the mid server user.

3. You can then report on these or run a scheduled job on periodic basis to delete the records if not needed.
