2.In the table listing all hosts, find the column labeled 'Visible'.

3.Click the button to toggle visibility of hosts on Application Discovery screens to yes (Y) or no (N). Select N to prevent the host and its accompanying data from showing in Application Discovery data tables. Select Y to allow the host and its accompanying data to show in Application Discovery data tables.

Set Visibility for Matched Applications

To help you control the amount of data presented to you, HP Application Discovery provides several ways to modify the visibility of objects in HP Application Discovery screens. In addition to modifying application visibility (discussed here) you can also change the visibility of packages and hosts.

To change visibility of a matched application:

1.Click the following tabs in HP Application Discovery: Admin/Config , then AD Templates.

2.In the table listing all application templates, find the column labeled 'Visible'.

3.Click the button to toggle visibility of applications matched to a template to yes (Y) or no (N). Select N to prevent the applications that match this template from showing in HP Application Discovery data tables. Select Y to allow the applications that match this template to show in HP Application Discovery data tables.

NOTE: When creating a workload in HP Virtualization Manager, you have the option of checking 'Show All Running Applications'. In essence, this check box allows you to reveal all running applications that have been previously marked as hidden in HP Application Discovery by a user or by default. See “Add Selection by Application” in HP Virtualization Manager Help for usage instructions.

Set Visibility for Packages on Application Discovery Screens

The Impact of Discovery on Application Discovery Server Memory Usage

Memory use might be higher during the initial warmup period when application discovery is at its height, and lessening over time as the majority of discovery is completed.
