Despite turning off Database Discovery from the Discovery Configuration Console, MSSQL-related records are still being created under the cmdb_ci_db_instance table.Issue Despite turning off Database Discovery from the Discovery Configuration Console, MSSQL-related records are still being created under the cmdb_ci_db_instance table.Symptoms1.Records appear in the cmdb_ci_db_instance table even after Database Discovery is disabled via discovery configuration console. 2.The records belong to subclasses such as: cmdb_ci_db_mssql_analysis (SSAS) cmdb_ci_db_mssql_reporting (SSRS) cmdb_ci_db_mssql_integration (SSIS) 3.These CIs are created as part of Windows Server Discovery and subsequent pattern execution triggered by detected processes. 4.The CIs represent running Windows processes associated with MSSQL services.Facts1.The database discovery setting was disabled from the Discovery Configuration Console. 2.MSSQL-related processes like SSRS, SSIS, and SSAS were still running on the Windows server. 3.These processes triggered pattern execution during Windows Discovery. 4.The resulting CIs belong to subclasses of cmdb_ci_db_instance and therefore appear in that table. 5.The application category "Databases" has a default process classifier list, which determines which processes to ignore or discover.ReleaseAny releaseCause1.Although Database Discovery was turned off, certain MSSQL-related processes (SSRS, SSIS, SSAS) were not included in the process classifier list under the Databases application category when it was turned off. 2.As a result, these processes were still identified during Windows Discovery, triggering corresponding patterns and creating CIs under subclasses of cmdb_ci_db_instance.ResolutionTo prevent discovery of unwanted MSSQL-related components: 1.Navigate to: Discovery Definition > Application Categories > Databases 2.Review the process classifier list associated with the Databases category. 3.Add the following MSSQL-related processes to the list if you want to exclude them: SSRS for MSSQL ,SSIS for MSSQL ,SSAS for MSSQL etc. when you want to disable Database Discovery and its related components via discovery configuration console. 4.Save the configuration.
