cmdb_ci_spkg with cmdb_ci_software_instance or another cmdb table?

Hello Everyone,

 

We have an integration with Intune where we save the Intune Devices in our instance. The next step is to map the intune applications with the devices. We can see the applications as software like 7-Zip, Adobe Acrobat, Notepad++,...
The first step would be to save these in an OOTB cmdb table, I was thinking of using the cmdb_ci_spkg ( class cmdb_ci_application_software). And the link with the device would happen in the cmdb_ci_software_instance.

I saw other tables such as cmdb_sam_sw_install, but we don't have SAM. Do you have any recommendations on how we should tackle this? What are the possibilities we have to import software and link them to Computers and Communication devices?

cmdb_sam_sw_install is the recommended table since you are having SAM. cmdb_ci_spkg is supposed to be used only if you don't have SAM license.

thanks for your response,
Can you give more details? In which table do I need to put the intunes applications from sam, and how to link them to computers/communication devices?
