By default, the ControlPoint Discovery process runs on all Web applications in a SharePoint farm. ControlPoint Application Administrations can, however, exclude one or more (up to a maximum of 6) Web applications from the Discovery.
It may be useful, for example, if the Web application that hosts your MySites is large and time-consuming to discover. You can exclude that Web application from the ControlPoint Discovery.
NOTE: Remember that activity data in analyses run from cache can only be reported up to the date of the last Discovery.
To exclude a Web application from the Discovery process, enter the Web application's GUID as the Value of the ControlPoint Setting Web Applications to Exclude from Full Discovery. Use the following guidelines:
1To locate a Web application's GUID, select the Web application in the ControlPoint Farm Hierarchy, right-click and choose Properties.
2Copy the Id's Property Value and paste it directly into the Value field.
3Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each Web application you want to exclude (up to a maximum of 6). Use a comma (,) to separate each GUID in the list.
