Attributes populated by ServiceNow Discovery per Class

[daviddistel]

Good Morning, 

 Has anyone looked and located this information in a consolidated fashion? So far , SN Support says the only way to get this information is to locate each separate page for each Class .

We are working on a major project to improve our CMDB Data and reporting.

What is the easiest and best way to get a listing of all the attributes that are discovered and returned to the CMDB during Discovery?

We are looking for all the attributes and fields , per CI Class, that discovery locates and then populates within the class structure in the CMDB.

We are defining the top 33 Principal Classes, and need to identify what attributes are, or should be , discovered in each class.

Hi @daviddistel,

ServiceNow does not provide a single OOTB document or report that lists all Discovery-populated attributes for every CI class.

As documented, the attributes populated depend on the specific Discovery Pattern, Probe, Sensor, and CI Class being used.

For a consolidated view, the recommended approach is to review:

Discovery Definition > Patterns
CMDB > CI Class Manager
sys_dictionary

The most accurate source is the Discovery Pattern itself, which shows the CI attributes that can be populated for a given class.

For large CMDB initiatives, many organizations export class definitions and Discovery Pattern mappings to build their own class-to-attribute matrix for key CI classes.
