Enable or Disable the Scan of an Intellisig Definition

By default, all the Intellisigs are enabled for software scanning. If you temporarily do not want the software scanner to scan an Intellisig, you can disable the scan of the Intellisig. You can enable it later when you want the scanner to discover it again.

Note: You can disable only at the Intellisig level, not at the product, release, or patch definition level.

Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Software, Definitions, Intellisigs.

   All the Intellisigs are displayed in the right pane.

2. Right-click the Intellisig that you want to disable and select Disable Scan. Click Yes to confirm.

   When the collect task runs next time, the disabled Intellisigs are not sent to the agent. After the collect task runs, discovered records from previous scan if any, are hidden on the All Computers, computer name, Software, Discovered node. However, the detected product, release, or patch definitions are not removed from Software, Definitions, Intellisigs
