Key Features
- Supports Infoblox API v2.11.2 and various ServiceNow versions including Yokohama and Zurich.
- Facilitates configuration of connections to Infoblox instances.
- Enables creation of IPAM tasks upon subnet changes.
- Allows scheduling of periodic data synchronizations for IPAM CIs.
- Provides a dashboard for monitoring integration status and metrics through the CMDB Integrations Dashboard.
Key Outcomes
Upon upgrading to version 1.5.0, you must perform a full data load, marking previous CIs as retired. You have the option to delete or retain these retired CIs based on your organization's needs. The new setup ensures proper identification of CIs through updated source native keys, preventing duplicates.
For configuration, utilize the SGC Central view in the Service Graph Workspace or CMDB Workspace, as the guided setup method is planned for deprecation. This allows for effective lifecycle management of your integrations.
Use the Service Graph Connector for Infoblox to pull data from an Infoblox instance into your ServiceNow instance.

Important information for upgrading Service Graph Connector for Infoblox
You must run a full data load after upgrading to Service Graph Connector for Infoblox version 1.5.0. After the full data load, all CIs from Service Graph Connector for Infoblox version 1.4.0 and earlier are marked as retired. You can decide whether to delete or retain the retired CIs.
You can create table cleanup jobs to automate the cleanup of retired CIs based on your organization's data retention requirements and integration dependencies. For more information, see Create table cleanup jobs for Service Graph Connector for Infoblox.
The source native keys (SNKs) for all CIs in Service Graph Connector for Infoblox version 1.5.0 and later include the Managed Network information to identify the connection that discovered specific CIs and to prevent duplicate records. All new CIs that are created after the initial full data load have updated SNKs.
