Discovery and Inventory rules allow you to initiate the remote discovery and inventory collection process in FlexNet Manager Suite. Once created, these rules run on a schedule from an inventory Beacon.
If you need to pause a Discovery and Inventory without deleting it, for example, to change the rule or troubleshoot an issue, you can follow the steps below to disable an existing Discovery and Inventory rule.
- In the FlexNet Manager Suite UI, select Discovery & Inventory > Discovery and Inventory Rules.
- Click the Edit icon for the applicable rule.
- In the Rule Builder section, select the Schedule button.
- Select the Save as button.
- Select the Disabled option from the Rule name drop-down option, then select Save.
NOTE: To re-enable the Discovery and Inventory rule, follow the same steps as above, selecting Enabled in step five rather than Disabled.
