Jobs (Batch jobs, file transfers, etc) as CI's in CMDB ?

Dear Community,

I wonder if anybody had use case of tracking/recording Batch Jobs/File transfer Jobs as Configuration Items in CMDB? If yes - is there out of the box table? And what use-cases you had.

We are looking to track and record them so we can enhance Service Mapping, also for Incident records on Jobs.

Thanks,

Mantautas.

Hi @Mantautas ,

There a table for Batch Jobs (cmdb_ci_batch_job) that could be used. You could add fields to this table to get what you want.

Also,

The horizontal discovery process can find configuration files that belong to certain applications and add those configuration files to the CMDB. You can track the changes to these files by comparing them to previous versions.

Warning: Configuration files contain sensitive system information. To prevent unauthorized access, ensure that access control lists (ACL) are placed on the Tracked Configuration file table [cmdb_ci_config_file_tracked]. Only allow authorized users to view this table or uncheck the Save Content setting.

Thank you Sandeep, very useful.

What is the relationship between Jobs and Configuration Files?
