Hi all,
What's the best way to discover Riverbed devices? I can get them into the CMDB but the serial number isn't populated. Has ServiceNow added native support yet?

Can you please check which pattern is used to populate Riverbed devices and check if CI is set in that pattern? If not then you need to map serial number by creating extended Section.

You need to follow below approach
- Write custom pattern and sensors to discovery riverbed devices using MIB file.You can get MIB file from https://support.riverbed.com/content/support/software/steelcentral-ccm/steelhead-mobile-controller.h...
- You can create a sensor code like below to get info from riverbed MIB file
new DiscoverySensor( {
process: function(result) {
var snmp = new SNMPResponse(result);
var oid_serial = snmp.getOIDText('iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.rbt.products.steelhead.system.serialNumber');
var oid_version = snmp.getOIDText('iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.rbt.products.steelhead.system.systemVersion');
var oid_model = snmp.getOIDText('iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.rbt.products.steelhead.system.model');

If Discovery of Riverbed devices is using an OOB Pattern but it is not collecting the serial number then you need to create a pattern extension that includes "Define an SNMP Query" step to collect the serial number information and set the serial number field of the CI.
