Script to Check if a CI is a Server or not

[Meloper]

as I understand it server OOTB are inherited from class "Server" or "VM".
Is there a script or a FUnction in a script include with which I can check if a CI is a server?

I can write one for myself and go through the "sys_db_object" but maybe someone of you already wrote one, is there something like that already in a script include?

Hi @Meloper ,

Hope you are doing good.

You can find out if a device is a server or not by looking at class field on the cmdb_ci table.

Please find the script below -

var server = "your CI's sys_id";
var getServer = new GlideRecord("cmdb_ci_server");
getServer.addQuery("sys_id",server);
getServer.query();
if(getServer.next()){
gs.log("Device is a Server");
}
else
gs.log("Device is not a server");

In the above script we are checking if the device is in cmdb_ci_server table or not. If yes it's a server else not.

Hi @Meloper 

You can check script include 'GlideRecordUtil' this OOB and there is a function which can be used to check CI class.
