Sometimes you'll be asked to do 'admin' type tasks, such as:
- Check the CMDB CI to find inactive CI Owners so we can update them?
You may then think, ok I will write a background/fix script and print out all the sys_id's and then look to resolve them... but that's kinda gross.
It would be far more useful if you could run a script whenever required, and produce a nice table of results, or easily export to an XLS for someone else, rather than a random string of CSV's in a mess of log statements 😑
This is where Instance scan can help! Its not just for finding coding issues!
The best part is, you don't even need to write code!!! 😍
The table check... very simple.

The results, in a lovely table for future reference or export. 🤠
We found 1 CI, called Jobvite which failed the check of 'Inactive CI owners' so we can update that record with a new active CI owner.
Simples!
A reusable, easily reportable, no code solution to a common problem.
Of course, you can use this to solve many other 'data integrity' issues.
Have a great day!
