Asset Management as a Discovery Source & working with Reconciliation Rules

[Alec Hanson]

Hi,

When creating an Asset I see that the Discovery Source is set to "SNAssetManagement", however any further updates don't seem to set the DiscoverySource. Anyone know if that is expected?

Further I was trying to simulate the definition of Reconciliation Rules to stop Asset Management updates from driving updates to CIs, where the CI has been Discovered by a trusted source i.e. SCCM but can't get that working and not sure if this is related to the lack of Discovery Source being set on the updates?

Thanks

Hello.  Did you ever resource this?

Hi @CJ22,

I have just come back round to this and unfortunately have not managed to find any answer.

In effect it seems that:

- On Asset Create:

  -> If glide.asset.create_ci_with_ire is true then the CI is created from an Asset as if it was any other Data source, going through identification AND reconcilliation

  -> If glide.asset.create_ci_with_ire  is false, then the CI is create in the traditional way without using the IRE API

- On Update, IRE is ignored altogether and where appropriate a direct update to the CI is made.

It does seem that a glide.asset.update_ci_with_ire property and related functionality would be really helpful.

I assume you have not found any different?

No.  We had a slightly different issue that was from instance upgrades.
