Use the CI finder mapping to link the resources fetched by the ServiceNow Cloud Configuration Governance scan runs with the appropriate Configuration Management Database (CMDB) Configuration Items (CIs), if available. After you create the mapping, you can associate the reported configuration violations with the CIs to which they belong.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_itom_ccg.scheduling_admin or sn_itom_ccg.governor

## About this task

After creating a resource type in Cloud Configuration Governance, you can optionally
create a CI finder mapping for the new resource type. Cloud Configuration governance
calls the CI finder mapping script for all the resources fetched by the scan
runs.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllCloud Configuration GovernanceCI Finder Mappings.
2. Select New.
3. On the form, fill in the fields.  
   {#create-ci-finder-mapping-for-ccg__table_t5w_gtl_jtb__entry__2}

   | Field | Description |
   |-|-|
   | Provider Type | Cloud service provider that hosts the resource. |
   | Resource Type | Resource type of the cloud resource. |
   | Script | Script to link the resources fetched by the Cloud Configuration Governance application with the existing CI. Use an existing CI finder mapping script as an example to create a script for the new resource type. Cloud Configuration Governance offers several objects and variables for use in the script. For more information, see [Cloud Configuration Governance scripting reference](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/VUZ_rVgwhEIQaY6V7s~4Jg "Cloud Configuration Governance provides several objects and variables that you can use to create script-based policies and CI finder mapping scripts."). |
