6.6 Excluding a device from the management targets

Exclude a device detected in a search or a managed device that no longer needs to be managed from the management targets.

When a device is excluded from the management targets, it cannot be detected in a device search. Therefore, you can only view the newly detected devices in periodical device searches.

To exclude a device from the management targets:

1. Display the Settings module.

2. In the menu area, select Discovery and then Discovered Nodes or Managed Nodes.

3. Select the device to be excluded.

4. Click the Ignore button.

The selected device is excluded from the management targets.

After you excluded a device from the management targets, the device is no longer displayed in the Inventory module. The device information associated with the hardware asset information is also removed.

Tip

When the network monitor function is installed on a device, the device network connection is controlled at the time it is detected, based on the settings for the network monitor and the network control list. When a device is excluded from the management targets, its network connection is automatically allowed.

Tip

When you set an exclusion device as a management target, its device information is automatically associated with the hardware asset information if the hardware asset information has the same IP address, host name, serial number, or MAC address exists.

Important

You cannot exclude a computer for which the network monitor is enabled from the management targets.
