Identifying CIs that need to be scoped under an Entity Type

[Noelinho1]

Hello community...

Situation:

• I am building entities for SOX compliance and querying the cmdb_ci_database table

Is there a way for me to easily bring in databases that are in scope for SOX controls without having to use and populate a custom attribute at the cmdb_ci_database table? I.e. is there a native OOTB function for this?

Thanks,

Noel

Hi @Noelinho ,

Do you have a possibility to create a CMDB query by using cmdb CI relations to filter the cmdb CI databases, if possible then you can use that CMDB query for entity scoping.

Make sure you execute the CMDB query and see all required databases are coming or not and once your validated it, then tag that CMDB query with "GRC Scoping"  and use it in entity filter for entities scoping.

With above approach you don't need to create additional attribute on cmdb_ci_database table for entity scoping alone.

Please Mark ✅ Correct/helpful, if applicable.
