Thanks in advance

Hi Ram, I used a combination of the Schedule API Filter and the Class Mappings to trim and filter the data so it only brings in the records I require and for those records I ensure the target class is set.

For example my API filter only allows Windows Computers of the category Note Book and Desktop...

operatingSystem:"Windows" and (hardware.category: Computers / Desktop or hardware.category:Computers / Notebook)

Additionally in the Hardware CI mappings I have disabled all CI classes expect computers and those have been set with a target class of  cmdb_ci_computer. 

This way I avoid any unwanted device types and direct the ones I do want into the correct CI class.

Hope this helps?

Hi Nelson, Thank so much for you response.

Is there a way we can completely stop created the CI's in CMDB. not just partially.

Hi @RamSagar 

we can do this by disabling the below System property:
"sn_sec_cmn.ci_creation_through_IRE"
