How to check the discovery source for a Hardware Model .Is it the cmdb_ci_computer table or the alm_asset to search the discovery source for some specific series of laptop ?
How to check the IRE rules for these models to see if they validate the existing model record  before creating a new model record ?

Hi @Devika  ,

The discovery source for a hardware model is determined by the Configuration Item (CI) records, not the hardware model record itself. The discovery_source field exists on the cmdb_ci table and its children, including cmdb_ci_computer. The alm_asset table holds asset management information, but the CI is the source of the discovered data. 

To find the discovery source for a specific laptop series:

1. Open the CI record: Navigate to the cmdb_ci_computer table.
2. Filter for the laptop model: Search for the laptop model (e.g., in the Model ID field).
3. View the Discovery source field: Open any of the CI records for that model. The Discovery source field on the form will show how it was populated (e.g., "ServiceNow," "SCCM," "Import"). If this field is empty, it was likely created manually or by a source not integrated with the Identification and Reconciliation Engine (IRE).
