Plugin - Configuration Management For Scoped Apps

[Rick54]

Hello,

We have a requirement to activate 'Configuration Management For Scoped Apps ' plugin in sake of ScienceLogic integration. I read through the documentation but it doesn't gives me much information. I would like to understand how this plugin helpful to the existing system with an example and is there any cross impacts on existing CMDB? Thanks for your response.

Hi,

This plugin is related to cmdb identification and reconciliation. There are APIs used to keep the cmdb clean when importing data via script, prevent duplicate records, etc.

All the plugin would do is allow you to use the identification and reconciliation APIs within your scoped app, you'd just have to use the prefix sn_cmdb.IdentificationEngine.<method>.

You can see what the APIs are designed for here along with some examples of them in use if you click in to each individual API.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply Barbara. Do you know if there is any impact to CMDB if the plugin is activated? I really appreciate your answer on this.

I haven't used it, but it definitely should not impact the CMDB other than allowing the APIs use in scoped apps. So it wouldn't have any impact unless you scripted it to do something

That make sense. Thank you very much!
