Rule 3 - Mapping of Nutanix 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 Nutanix 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.

Rule Details and Default

The default rule/s are described by the mapping table shown below.

Asset Type	CI Sync Target CI Classes
Cluster	cmdb_ci_nutanix_cluster
Host	cmdb_ci_nutanix_host
Image	cmdb_ci_os_template
Virtual Machine Instance	cmdb_ci_nutanix_vm_instance

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 Nutanix 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)
