How do can you manage a devops type cycle of redeployment of the same VM, with new Hostname, etc

    Hi,

    I've a client, were in their non-prod env they rebuild the same vm and redeploy, so basically decommission the old and create a new VM daily.  How do we manage this scenario within ILMT?

    Hello Ray,

    Does any property of those VMs (like UUID) change during that redeploy procedure ?

    I guess that you could embed disconnected scanner (with hardcoded endpoint_id.txt) into VM's deployment procedure.
    That way each new VM deployment will be 'mapped' with the existing one as far as ILMT is concerned.
