    Use cases

    You can use the Service Graph Connector for Microsoft Defender for IoT (Azure) with the ServiceNow® Operational Technology Manager application to import OT devices and sensor appliances.

    Guided setup

    The guided setup for the Service Graph Connector for Microsoft Defender for IoT (Azure) provides an organized sequence of tasks to configure the integration on your instance. To access the guided setup, see Configure guided setup.

    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 integrations. You can see metrics for all integration runs. You can filter the view to a specific CMDB integration, a specific time duration, or a specific integration run. For more details about monitoring integrations in the CMDB Integrations Dashboard, see Integration Commons for CMDB.

    Data mapping

    Data from the Microsoft Defender for IoT (Azure) data sources is mapped and transformed into the ServiceNow CMDB Configuration Item (CI) class definitions using the Robust Transform Engine (RTE). Data is inserted into the ServiceNow CMDB using the Identification and Reconciliation Engine (IRE).

    When you complete the setup, you can configure the integration to periodically pull data from the Microsoft Defender for IoT (Azure) application.

    The following table lists the data sources included for a Microsoft Defender for IoT (Azure) project and the corresponding staging tables where the imported data is loaded.
