last_descovery field on computer table

Hello all,


I have a question here, and I truly have no concept how the work is done in CMDB. So my question is, I've done integration, and based on the data we received, we need to update the field "Last MDM check - in" which is the last_descovery column on the cmdb_ci_computer table. When I looked at the field, it already had data, so I'm guessing this is updated somewhere I couldn't locate. So, first, I need to stop updating this, and then I need to perform my update, else it will be overwritten. So, does anyone have a clue where this gets updated?

 

Thank you

First clean the field on the form (delete data - do in non prod) Once done create a reconciliation rule for the attribute you are trying to update with the integration give it first precedence. Once done run the integration. The field will not update from any other discovery source after this.
