Configuring a connection for the connector
CMDB integrations dashboard
The Integration Commons for CMDB store app provides a dashboard with a central view of the status, processing results, and processing errors of all installed Service Graph Connectors. You can see metrics for all integration runs. You can filter the view to a specific integration, a specific time duration, or a specific integration run. For more details about monitoring SolarWinds integrations in the CMDB Integrations Dashboard, see Using the CMDB Integrations Dashboard.
Data mapping
Data from data sources in the SolarWinds software is mapped and transformed into ServiceNow CMDB tables using the Robust Transform Engine (RTE). Data is inserted into ServiceNow CMDB using the Identification and Reconciliation Engine (IRE).
When you complete setting up the connection, you can configure the integration to periodically pull data from the SolarWinds software.
