Blueprint Management › Disable or Enable Discovery on Blueprints

Disable or Enable Discovery on Blueprints

Blueprints can be disabled to prevent them from being used during discovery operations. This makes the discovery faster, and enables you to prevent software components that you are not interested in managing from being added to the CA Configuration Automation inventory.

Discovery is enabled by default on all predefined Component Blueprints.

To disable or enable discovery on Component Blueprints

1. Click the Management link, then click the Blueprints tab.

   The Blueprints tab page appears.

2. Click the Blueprints link (below the main tabs)

   The Blueprints page appears and lists all existing blueprints in the Blueprints table.

3. Click the check box next to one or more Component Blueprints whose discovery state you want to change, then select Disable Discovery or Enable Discovery from the Select Actions drop-down list.

   The Discovery Status column is updated to reflect the current state of the associated Blueprint.
