Hello Folks,


We are having a intergration between AssetTrack and ServiceNow, my attention is on the other classes ESX Servers, Servers, Windows Servers, in alm_asset table which I feel these not supposed to be in this table.

What are your suggestions on following the best practices approach?

-  These classes should be removed from alm_asset table ?

- or it's a part of integration so keep them here as these can be used in future and don't touch OOB setup?

I don't think these should be removed if you are supposed to be tracking them. The Alm Asset table is a collection of different assets but it's there to track the financial and the lifecycle side of these assets - the ESX CMDB is more for counting the assets and associated CI's.

 

It is confusing at times having multiple tables but that is the way its been built
