Hardware CI Rules
The hardware Configuration item (CI) mapping rule table is equipped with hardware category1, hardware category2 and corresponding target CI class. Following a Qualys API call, the system checks the hardware category1 and hardware category2 to determine their satisfaction, if hardware category1 and hardware category2 is match with the table record then the associated target CI class is added to the import set table data. During the mapping process, this designated target CI class is then used.
Computer CI Rules
The Computer CI Mapping Rule table is equipped with predefined rules, including criteria such as OS name, OS category, OS category 2, OS Publisher, OS Product name, and the corresponding target CI class. Following a Qualys API call, the system checks these rules to determine their satisfaction. If a rule is met, the associated target CI class is added to the import set table data. During the mapping process, this designated target CI class is then used.
If you want to update CI attributes, you must create new reconciliation rules to determine which discovery sources can update CI attributes. See 'Reconciliation rules' in the online product documentation and the Identification and Reconciliation Fundamentals article in the ServiceNow Support Knowledge base for more information.
Asset Management CI Rules
The Asset Management CI Mapping Rule table is equipped with predefined rules, including criteria such as Operating System, Is Volume Info Present, Is processor Present, Cloud Provider and the corresponding target CI class. Following a Qualys API call, the system checks these rules to determine their satisfaction. If a rule is met, the associated target CI class is added to the import set table data. During the mapping process, this designated target CI class is then used.
