# Exclude temporary Azure Databricks virtual machines

Reduce short-lived configuration item \(CI\) records by excluding temporary Azure Databricks virtual machines \(VMs\).

## Before you begin

Verify that you have at least version 1.30.2 of Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns.

Role required: admin

## About this task

By default, Discovery includes temporary Azure Databricks VMs in discovery results. The **glide.discovery.cloud.filterout\_databrick\_vms** system property controls whether these VMs are excluded from the CMDB. The default value is **false**. When set to true, Discovery excludes Azure Databricks VMs during pattern-based discovery, reducing the number of short-lived CI records in your CMDB.

## Procedure

1.  In the navigation filter, enter `sys_properties.list`.

2.  In the **Name** column, search for `glide.discovery.cloud.filterout_databrick_vms`.

3.  Select the **glide.discovery.cloud.filterout\_databrick\_vms** system property.

4.  In the **Value** field, enter **true**.

5.  Select **Update**.
