    Summary of CMDB Classes Targeted in Service Graph Connector for Google Console

    The Service Graph Connector for Google Console allows you to integrate and periodically pull data from Chromebook devices into the ServiceNow Configuration Management Database (CMDB). This data is organized into specific tables that extend from the main Configuration Item [cmdbci] table.

    Key Features

    • Computer [cmdbcicomputer]: Collects attributes such as Install Status, Model number, and Serial number, which are crucial for managing computer devices.
    • IP Address [cmdbciipaddress]: Gathers information like IP Address and MAC Address, essential for network management.
    • Network Adapter [cmdbcinetworkadapter]: Captures details about the network interfaces used by devices, including serial numbers and MAC addresses.
    • Software [cmdbcispkg]: Populates information about software packages when the Software Asset Management (SAM) applications are not installed.
    • Software Installation [cmdbsamswinstall]: Provides installation details for software when SAM applications are integrated.
    • Software Instance [cmdbsoftwareinstance]: Offers data regarding software instances for devices, enhancing software lifecycle management.

    Key Outcomes

    As a result of implementing the Service Graph Connector, you can expect:

    • Automated data collection from Google Console, improving the accuracy of your CMDB.
    • Enhanced visibility into your Chromebook assets, including their software and network configurations.
    • Streamlined software asset management processes, especially when integrating with SAM applications.

    When you complete setting up the connection, you can configure the integration to periodically pull Google Console data from Chromebook devices. The data is saved in tables that extend from the Configuration item [cmdb_ci] table.
