Sitecore Device Detection

I was observing for my Sitecore CDE application “discovery-ces.cloud.sitecore.net” dependency was always failing.
Digging it out I found it is related to device detection.Below are some uses of Device detection:-

1. Device detection can be used to personalize content on the basis of device type.
2. Can be used for using different layouts for different devices.
3. Sitecore analytics also start showing the device data if this feature is enabled.

Device detection is a paid service and available in Sitecore app center which We can browse through control panel on our Sitecore instance. Click Here for the details for setting up device detection.
By default this call happens every 10 minutes to download and update the device database. We were not using Device detection so “discovery-ces.cloud.sitecore.net” was getting tracked as a failed dependency call.
So We thought of disabling it. Click here to check how disable device detection.
