Redfish devices discovery

Hi Team,

Has anyone successfully implemented the discovery of devices supporting the Redfish protocol?


ServiceNow support has confirmed that out-of-the-box (OOB) probes/patterns for discovering these devices are not available, and we will need a complete end-to-end customization.


If you have experience with this implementation, please let me know the steps for it


Thanks, Pavan BV

Thanks @swapnali ombale , I was able to create a custom classifier and call the Redfish API to pull the data. But i am facing issue while setting the name of the CI form the API response. If you have any leads around this, please let me know.

GetResponse output structure is like below
{

"Name":"ABC",

"SerialNumber":"1234",

"PowerState":"xx",

"BiosVersion":"1234v1",

}

 

 

In the 2nd Step "Set Name" i am using below code

var parsedResponse = JSON.parse("$GetResponse");

var name = parsedResponse.Name;
return name;

 

I am setting this name to the Name field on the CI that i wanted to create

 Hi @PavanBV 

var parsedResponse = JSON.parse($GetResponse); // Remove quotes if $GetResponse is already a string
var name = parsedResponse.Name;
return name;

 

  • If $GetResponse is a string literal already substituted (i.e., includes quotes when you inspect the actual value): Keep the quotes in JSON.parse("$GetResponse").

  • If $GetResponse is already a JavaScript object or the raw string without quotes: Remove the quotes like: JSON.parse($GetResponse).
