What happens during Cloud Discovery when a tag (key value) changes?

[Bob D]

What happens to the cmdb_key_values table during Cloud Discovery if an existing tag has been changed within the cloud platform (say, Azure?)

For example, I have a Virtual Machine Instance CI that currently has a record in the Key Values table with this key/value:

Environment = Production

What happens during Discovery if this tag has been changed (in Azure) to Environment = Development?

Does Discovery:

 1. Update the existing tag with a new value?

 2. Create a new tag with the new value and leave the existing tag in the table? (this would seem to cause problems)

 3. Create a new tag with the new value and delete the old tag?  

 4. Other?

I ran a quick test and the answer seems to be #3

Anyone know for sure?  I haven't found any documentation that addresses this.

thanks

Hi Bob, yes 3 is what happens, by design.

Hello Ram

Its creating the new tag for sure but then it is not deleting the old tag. Any thoughts on this?
