Unix inventory data provider attribute mapping

Overview

This article contains the attribute mapping for the Unix Inventory Data Provider. It lists all attributes of the Computer configuration item that are imported or updated by the inventory.

Matching

  • The Unix inventory can be run only for existing computers of Matrix42 Enterprise Service Management. It does not import any computers in the system.
  • Computers to be scanned must be explicitly added on the Included Computers page of an active data provider configuration.
  • The Unix Inventory Data Provider creates fingerprints and installations for inventoried applications.

Stock keeping units can be created during the data import. They are matched by the ManufacturerName and Model attributes. If no match is found, a new record will be created. The Configuration Item and Type fields are filled in if the corresponding source information is available.

Attributes

XML Entity XML Element Data Definition Attribute Note
Computer​Snapshot CurrentTime SPSInventoryClassBase LastScanDate  
ScanedHostName     Used in value of the Domain attribute.
ComputerIdentification DNSName SPSComputerClassBase DNSName  
EquipmentSerial​Number SPSComputerClassBase SystemSerialNumber  
EquipmentSerial​Number SPSAssetClassBase SerialNumber  
EquipmentModel SPSAssetClassBase Model  
Equipment​Manufacturer SPSAssetClassBase ManufacturerName Used in value of the SKU attribute.
TotalPhysicalMemory SPSComputerClassBase Memory Value is converted to megabytes.
    SPSComputerClassAD Domain Domain is retrieved from ScanedHostName and DNSName information and matched to a domain existing in the Workspace Management database either by DomainName or by NT4Name.
    SPSAssetClassBase SKU SKU is identified based on EquipmentModel and EquipmentManufacturer values. If SKU is not found in the Workspace Management database, it is created and the Data Provider sets a relation between the SKU and the computer.
