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

    The app adds class models that extend the CMDB class hierarchy, including class descriptions, identification rules, identifier entries, and dependent relationships if applicable. You can use the added classes as any other CMDB class. Applications such as Discovery and Service Mapping patterns can use these class extensions to populate CIs and discover various technologies and software.

    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.

    ServiceNow 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.
