RTE transforms template scripts included within the Integration Commons for CMDB app

The Robust Transform Engine (RTE) transforms are templated operations included within the Integration Commons for CMDB (sn_cmdb_int_util) store app.

The following script-based RTE transforms are available in the Integration Commons for CMDB app.

CI Lookup Operation

Use to get the value of a field on an existing configuration item (CI) in the CMDB by the source native key.

</td></tr><tr><td>

Input field

</td><td>

source_sys_rte_eb_field Input in order is:

Discovery Source
Source Native Key
CI Field

The operation queries the Source [sys_object_source] table for the discovery source and the associated source native key, and then returns the CI Field value of the matching record in the target table and the associated target sys ID.

</td></tr><tr><td>

Output field

</td><td>

target_sys_rte_eb_field Output is the value of the field name on the CI matched by the source native key lookup or an empty string if there is no match.

</td></tr></tbody> </table>The Source [sys_object_source] table is queried using the discovery source and source native key ordering by the last scan. The table iterates through the results of the query and queries the target table by the target sys ID until a valid CI is found. After a valid CI is found, the operation returns the value of the CI Field on the matching CI.

Cleanse Company

Use to cleanse hardware manufacturer name and add the record to the Company [core_company] table to populate a reference, when the manufacturer is not linked to a model or software (cpu_manufacturer).

The name is cleansed and a fuzzy lookup is done via the CmdbIntegrationCompanyModelUtil script include before the MakeAndModelJS platform API is called.

Use when the source has numerical values that need to be scaled and numerical value with an input such as 2048Mb. The source does not always provide the units so it may be required to calculate or guess the units being provided. The target units depend on the target field in the CMDB. If not specified, the decimal place field is set at 2 by default.

First Non Null Value

Use when you have a list of fields providing similar information that must map to a single field and you want to rank the order in which they can provide those values.

For Example Internally in SolarWinds, there is a hierarchy of tables that are join. In one example, a computer’s name could come from the child most table or any of that tables parents but each of those is a separate field in the pull. Starting with the most specific table, the values are searched for the first instance of a name value.

Process Name, Domain, FQDN, DNS set

Use when the source provides name, domain, FQDN, or DNS information. Can be used for only a subset of these (if for example, the source only provides name and domain). In the case that a source only provides fields that are lower in the input list (FQDN) the CmdbIntegrationHardwareNameUtil script include can be called from a script operation to minimize having to create empty dummy fields.

source_sys_rte_eb_fields Takes up to four Input fieldss (any additional fields are ignored), in the following order:

Name
Domain
FQDN
DNS

You don’t have to provide all four input values, but you must provide those values in the specified order. If for example, you only want to cleanse domain, you must provide a name attribute, even it if empty.

Possible name and domain values are extracted if possible. When name and domain are processed, if there is no FQDN, a value is generated if possible. A resulting name value is also modified using the following discovery flags:

glide.discovery.hostname.case – default: No change. Can be set to ‘Lower case’, ‘Upper case’, ‘No change’
glide.discovery.hostname.include_domain – default: false. If ‘true’ the domain is added to the final name value

Process FQDN

Scale Unit

Use when the source has numerical inputs that must be scaled. The source does not always provide the current units so it may be required to calculate or guess the units being provided. The target units depend on the field being targeted in the CMDB.

Use when a source, such as Jamf, does not provide the software publisher but does provide a Mac software bundle ID. Software Bundle ID Lookup looks up records in the Bundleid Lookup [sn-cmdb_int_util_bundleid_lookup] table by bundle_id. If a record with the specified bundle_id exists, it extracts the respective software publisher. Otherwise, it creates a new record which will be queried the next time the Lookup Mac Software Bundle IDs data source runs.

User Lookup

Use to look up a user in the User [sys_user] table by user name or email, attempting to match in the following order:

The User Name matching the user_name attribute.
The Email matching the email attribute.
