Pre-Read
Syncfish recommend customers read the following documentation before changing the Connection Setting/s described below.
Locating and Amending the Connection Setting in the CI Sync UI

Ignore scanning errors for devices running lsAgent |
Slider |
Devices with the lsAgent installed often have failures from agentless scans (IP Subnet/network scans) because the device is not visible to scanned subnets (e.g. Work from home devices). If enabled, this setting causes CI Sync to ignore scan errors on devices running lsAgent and instead synchronize those devices to the CMDB. The specific scan errors ignored for lsAgent devices is controlled by the next setting below (i.e. the RegEx below). |

After modify the settings, scroll to the bottom of the page, tick the “I consent…” checkbox and finally click the Save connection button.

You can now run a sync job and the amended settings will be applied causing the CI Sync Data Sync rules to be modified accordingly.
Importantly
Make sure you consciously override the setting against either your TEST or PROD environment (i.e. your TEST vs PROD sync jobs).
For more information on how to use TEST vs PROD Connection Settings please read Understanding the use of CI Sync Connection Settings.
Syncfish strongly recommend making changes for TEST environment/sync jobs first. Only modify PROD related settings after thoroughly validating the intended results in TEST.
