Why do I have over 500,000 network adapter ci's in cmdb

I only have about 20,000 computers, servers, and network devices in the cmdb, but have over 500,000 network adapter ci's.   Is this normal, or is there something I don't have configured right?

Hi Thor,



More than 100 network adapters per computer sounds a bit excessive.


How do you populate CMDB with network adapters?

Are you using SCCM as a data source?... that could be your issue


I am using SCCM for discovery. Should I not use the network import part of the SCCM integration?

Hi Thor,



We are experiencing a similar issue on a slightly smaller scale.   ~1500 devices, but can see ~29 network adapters per device all showing up as their own CI's.   Did you find a resolution to clean up your CMDB and not have them all as CI's?



Thanks,
Ryan
