Need to Identify Unique Identifier apart from Object ID for Azure Discovery

[Abhishek41]

Hi All,

There is a particular requirement to set Unique identifier for each cloud classes for Identification rule so that duplicate Azure cloud CI is not created if anybody from cloud team manually creates a manual record in cloud tables for the same Cloud CI as part of provisioning request.

I can see that most of cloud classes are bringing in Object ID as a unique identifier however, that object ID is a complex value which is a combination of subscriptionID/resourcegroup/resource for almost all the cloud classes. The manual provisioning team will unable create the above complex combination for Object ID as a result the cloud auto discovery and the manual provisioning will end up with creating duplicate CIs for the same cloud CI. Is there a way we can create a unique identifier apart from object ID for each cloud classes may be a combination of some unique value coming directly from Azure cloud discovery for identification rule to avoid CI duplication.

Valuable inputs will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Abhishek

As part of the provisioning process, why not have Discovery run and find the CI first, and therefore the CI doesn't have to be created manually?
