Rule 3 - Mapping of Lansweeper Cloud Asset 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 Lansweeper Asset Type.

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

To search for an existing CIs during a CI Update Operation.
To write new CIs during a CI Insert Operation.

Footnote #1

The way CI Sync handles Displays as either a peripheral of a main/parent asset, or as an asset in their own right depends on the connection setting described on this page: https://syncfish.atlassian.net/wiki/x/CADoeeUE

Footnote #2

CI Sync mappings for these record sets are being progressively added by Syncfish (so may not yet be available). Please contact Syncfish for information about the current status of these record sets.

Footnote #3

These record sets are available via the Lansweeper On-Prem connector, but not currently available via the Lansweeper Cloud API.

The default table mappings for Secondary/Child Records are shown below.

Secondary/Child Records	Default Target Class
Displays (as Peripherals)^{#1, #2}	cmdb_ci_display_hardware
Software Installs (for multiple record types)	cmdb_software_instance
Memory Modules (for multiple record types)	cmdb_ci_memory_module
Network Adapters (for multiple record types)	cmdb_ci_network_adapter
Disk (for multiple record types)	cmdb_ci_disk

Override Options

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

The target CI Class can be amended per Lansweeper Asset Type.
The target Related List/Child Record table can be amended per Lansweeper Asset Type.

Overriding via Connection Settings

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