Standard cmdb_ci reference qualifier for Incident table for use with Discovery

I am looking to see if there is a standard practice reference qualifier for the cmdb_ci Dictionary entry for use with Discovery. It is my understanding that you should not show Business Applications, Software, etc in the cmdb_ci. It should be reserved for Servers, Databases, hardware, etc.

Best practice is to identify the CI Classes that should be used in tickets: Computer, Server, Network, Application Service, etc. and identify them in the CMDB Class Manager as a Principal Class. Then use that Principal Class flag in the reference qualifier for the configuration_item fields on tickets, often in addition to using Operational Status (legacy) or Lifecycle State (current) to filter for active or operational CIs.

Refer to this article for more information: Update the list of classes in the Principal Class filter
