    • The CMDB CI Class Models app adds or updates classes for VMware NSX load balancers.

    CMDB CI Class Models is a ServiceNow Store app that adds class models that extend the CMDB class hierarchy. The new or updated classes include class descriptions, identification rules, identifier entries, and, if applicable, dependent relationships. You can use the added classes just like any other CMDB class. Applications such as Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns can use the class extensions to populate CIs and discover technologies and software.

    See the release notes for all CMDB CI class models.

    VMware NSX load balancer

    NSX is a network virtualization solution offered by VMware. Among the virtual resources included in the NSX solution are virtual LANs (VLANs), virtual load balancers, virtual routers, switches, and firewalls.

    Discovery uses the VMware NSX Advanced load balancer discovery pattern to find VMware NSX load balancers and their components: Listeners, pools, pool members, and health services.
