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.
