Rule 3 - Mapping of AWS Resource Types to CMDB CI Classes

Rule Synopsis

These are the rule/s that determine the target CMDB CI Tables/Classes used by CI Sync for each AWS Resource Type.

The target CI Table/CI Class is used by CI Sync for two purposes:

  1. To search for an existing CIs during a CI Update Operation.

  2. To write new CIs during a CI Insert Operation.

Context

Customers may consider changing these mappings to target different CMDB CI Tables/Classes shown above.  This can often be required when existing CIs are already present in the CMDB (in Classes different to those shown below) and CI Sync is expected to correlate to the existing CIs.

Options

  1. The target CI Class can be amended per AWS Resource Type.

Overriding via Connection Settings

Not Available - Requires a Custom Data Sync Rule (and therefore a Syncfish Support Plan to modify the default behaviour)
