New attestation fields in the CMDB (cmdb_ci).

Syed14

Hi,

We have recently noticed following new fields in the CMDB:

Attested (attested)
Attested by (attested_by)
Attested Date (attested_date)

The 'created' and 'updated by' shows 'system' so we are not aware that what created these fields. I have tried but not able to find the documentation of these fields. 

Are these fields a part of new release?

Is there any documentation link for these fields?

Also what is the purpose of these fields? Is there any best practice to use them?

 

Thanks

Syed

Seems to be part of GRC (Governance, Risk and Control) application.

i tried using cmdb data manager to run a attestation task and it does not seem to populate those 2 fields.

is it for GRC?

UPDATE:
1) created an attestation policy using data manager
2) i didnt find an OOTB schedule job to execute, but glidefast consulting had one on youtube which i copied the script and created my own
3) attested from the CMDB workspace, and the 2 fields attested_by and attested_date that I added to the CI form were updated.
