## Summary of IPAM Discovery integration

The IP Address Management (IPAM) to Discovery integration in the Yokohama release automates the creation and management of Discovery schedules based on IPv6 network data stored in IPAM.
This ensures your Discovery schedules stay synchronized with changes in your IPv6 network infrastructure, providing an accurate and current network environment view.

## How it works

* Identifies operational resources in IPAM tables
* Processes only the latest changes since the last sync
* Creates Discovery schedules grouped by a user-specified tag
* Disables schedules with no valid network targets

## Benefits

* **Automated schedule management:** Removes manual effort in creating and maintaining Discovery schedules for both IPv4 and IPv6 networks.
* **Synchronization with network changes:** Discovery schedules automatically update when networks, subnets, or IP addresses change.
* **Incremental updates:** Only changed resources are processed, improving performance.
* **Dual IP version support:** Supports IPv4 and IPv6 with separate limits and mapping methods.
* **Audit capability:** Maintains execution records to track synchronization activities and changes.

## Requirements

To use this integration, ensure you have:

* Service Graph Connector Central v2.4.0 with sgcadmin access
* Service Graph Connector for Infoblox v1.5.0 with sgcadmin access
* CMDB Workspace v9.0.0
* Discovery Admin Workspace v1.13.0 with discoveryadmin access
* Australia, ZP8 or later, or YP13 or later version of ServiceNow AI Platform

Your IPAM tables must contain managed networks, IP subnets, and allocated IP addresses marked as operational, with proper relationships established and valid IPv4 CIDR notation.

## Configuration

Key system properties control integration behavior:

* **Debug logging:** Enable detailed logs for troubleshooting.
* **Grouping:** Specify a tag key (e.g., location) to group auto-generated schedules.
* **IPv4 and IPv6 limits:** Set maximum addresses per schedule (default 65,536 for IPv4; 20,000 for IPv6 in Yokohama).

Note: For instances below ZP3 and YP9, IPv6 schedule limits default to 5,000 addresses.

## Generated schedules

* Maintenance source set to "Discovery-IPAM Integration"
* Schedules initially inactive for review before activation
* MID Server selection set to MID Cluster
* Description includes managed network, grouping criteria, and navigation links

## Execution tracking and monitoring

Each synchronization creates an execution record capturing performance data, configuration, and errors. The integration prevents overlapping executions to avoid conflicts. Regularly review these records to monitor integration health.

## Best practices for optimization

* Assign subnets to groups within your IPAM product to enable meaningful schedule organization
* Perform regular maintenance and review of generated schedules
* Use debug logging during initial setup to understand integration behavior
* Validate IPAM data quality before synchronization runs
* Monitor execution records frequently to detect and resolve issues promptly  
The IP Address Management (IPAM) to Discovery integration feature enables your organization to automatically create and manage Discovery schedules based on your IPv6 network infrastructure data stored in IPAM. This integration keeps your discovery processes synchronized with your IPv6 network changes, providing a complete and up-to-date
view of your network environment.

## How it works {#ipv6-ipam-disco-integration__section_hrn_ryp_23c}

The IPAM to Discovery integration automates schedule management through the following process:

* Identifying resources marked as operational in your IPAM tables
* Processing only the latest changes from your IPAM system
* Creating Discovery schedules, organized by a tag key you specify
* Disabling schedules that no longer have valid network targets
{#ipv6-ipam-disco-integration__ul_fhf_h1q_23c}

## Benefits {#ipv6-ipam-disco-integration__section_pvf_fyp_23c}

The following examples highlight the primary advantages of integrating IPAM with Discovery:

* Automated schedule management: Eliminates the need to manually create and maintain Discovery schedules for IPv4 and IPv6 networks.
* Synchronization with network changes: Automatically adjusts Discovery schedules when networks, subnets, or IP addresses change.
* Incremental updates: Processes only resources that changed since the last synchronization, improving performance.
* IPv4 and IPv6 support: Handles both IPv4 and IPv6 networks with separate capacity limits and mapping approaches.
* Audit capability: Maintains history of synchronization activities and changes through execution records.
{#ipv6-ipam-disco-integration__ul_xfc_gyp_23c}

## Requirements {#ipv6-ipam-disco-integration__section_xdw_lyp_23c}

This feature requires the following:

* Service Graph Connector Central (SGC Central) v2.4.0 with sgc_admin access.
* Service Graph Connector for Infoblox v1.5.0 with sgc_admin access.
* CMDB Workspace v9.0.0.
* Discovery Admin Workspace v1.13.0 with discovery_admin access.
* Australia, ZP8 or later, or YP13 or later version of the ServiceNow AI Platform.
{#ipv6-ipam-disco-integration__ul_ys2_nyp_23c}  
Before using the integration, ensure that your IPAM tables contain the following data:

* Managed networks in the Managed Network \[cmdb_ci_managed_network\] table with operational status set to operational.
* IP subnets in the IP Network Subnet \[cmdb_ci_ip_network_subnet\] table with operational status set to operational.
* IP addresses in the Allocated IP Address \[cmdb_ci_allocated_ip_address\] table with operational status set to operational.
* IPv4 subnets should have valid Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation for address calculation.
* Relationships between managed networks, subnets, and IP addresses must be established.
{#ipv6-ipam-disco-integration__ul_r2h_wts_m3c}

## Configuration {#ipv6-ipam-disco-integration__section_mtz_jzp_23c}

The following system properties control the behavior of the integration:  
{#ipv6-ipam-disco-integration__table_nff_rzp_23c__entry__3}

| Property name | Description | Default |
|-|-|-|
| glide.discovery.schedule.autogenerate.debug | Enables detailed logging for troubleshooting. | false |
| glide.discovery.schedule.autogenerate.group | Groups auto-generated IPAM Discovery schedules by a specific tag or attribute. The value of this property represents a key that IPAM retrieves and stores in the Key Values \[cmdb_key_value\] table. For example, entering "location" as the value would group the schedules by their associated locations. | empty |
| glide.discovery.schedule_ipv4_limit | Defines the maximum number of IPv4 addresses that can be included in a single auto‑generated IPv4 Discovery schedule. | 65,536 |
| glide.discovery.schedule_ipv6_limit | Defines the maximum number of IPv6 addresses that can be included in a single auto‑generated IPv6 Discovery schedule. | 20,000 Note: On instances below ZP3 and YP9, the maximum number of IPv6 addresses per schedule must not exceed 5,000, which is also the default value in Yokohama and earlier releases. |

## Generated schedules {#ipv6-ipam-disco-integration__section_qjw_g5s_m3c}

The integration creates Discovery schedules with the following characteristics:

* Maintenance source: The maintenance source is set to Discovery-IPAM Integration.
* Initial state: The initial state is set to inactive for review before activation.
* MID Server selection: The MID Server selection is set to MID Cluster.
* Description: Includes managed network, grouping criteria, and navigation links.
{#ipv6-ipam-disco-integration__ul_v5b_35s_m3c}

## Execution tracking {#ipv6-ipam-disco-integration__section_vkx_jdt_m3c}

Each synchronization creates an execution record that captures performance metrics, configuration settings, and any errors. The integration helps prevent multiple simultaneous executions to avoid conflicts. Review these
execution records to monitor integration health.

## Optimization {#ipv6-ipam-disco-integration__section_j51_jfq_23c}

Follow these guidelines to get the most out of the IPAM Discovery integration:  
* Assign subnets to groups: In your IPAM product, assign subnets to groups so the integration can organize schedules based on those groupings.
* Regular maintenance: Periodically review generated schedules and adjust configuration as needed.
* Test with debug logging: Enable debug logging during initial implementation to understand behavior.
* Verify data quality: Verify IPAM data quality before running synchronization.
* Monitor execution records: Review execution records regularly to catch issues early.
