CMDB Sync - Attributes Sync per ci class
Hallo This is more of a PowerFlow discussion on the CMDB Sync pack. Currently the mapping of attributes is not restricting on what class have what attributes. It is mostly coming down to what we currently have it map within ScienceLogic. The fun of that is that the PF will come down to some weird attributes association with different class, even when that attributes does not exist. Example Blade and CPU counts are certainly not an attributes of wap_network Ci class, however PF will put that together and make the payload a bit bigger and send over to ServiceNow. Then it gets ignored. While that we also cannot see the Ignore on the PF Debug. { "className":"cmdb_ci_wap_network", "values":{ "x_sclo_scilogic_monitored":true, "x_sclo_scilogic_id":"123456", "x_sclo_scilogic_region":"ScienceLogic", "x_sclo_scilogic_url":"https://support.sciencelogic.net/em7/index.em7?exec=device_summary&did=123456", "object_id":"BR_1_AP", "company":"a9b548781be235496287bc4bcb4bcb04", "sys_domain":"3d854c381be230502c496287bc4bcbd3", "short_description":"Description: Fortinet.AccessPoint, Device Class: Fortinet | FortiAP", "u_public_ip_address":"10.11.10.4", "u_operation_state":"connected", "serial_number":"FP432FTF000000001", "u_software_version":"FP432F-v7.4-build0540", "version":"FP432F-v7.4-build0540", "u_uuid":"f039250e-4878-51ef-42f2-f0b32e139f7d", "cpu_count":0, "cpu_speed":0, "first_discovered":"2025-01-23 19:11:03", "firmware_version":"FP432F-v7.4-build0540", "u_firmware_version":"FP432F-v7.4-build0540", "os":"FP432F-v7.4-build0540", "fqdn":"BR_1_AP", "host_name":"BR_1_AP", "u_discovered_manufacturer":"Fortinet", "manufacture":"Fortinet", "u_discovered_model_number":"432F", "model":"432F", "model number":"432F", "name":"BR_1_AP", "blade_serial_number":"FP432FTF000000001", "cost":0 },AMQP: RabbitMQ v103 Py3 PowerPack Release Notification

We have recently been caught off guard with this issue, we are monitoring a lot of IBM storage and as their firmware has been upgraded, we have lost the ability to monitor them. This includes Storwize v5000 and FlashSystems 5000, 7000 & 9000 series. As mentioned on the SVC powerpack page "ScienceLogic uses the SMI-S API to communicate with IBM storage and requires the storage system to use SMI specification version 1.6.0 or higher" - if you have an IBM Storwize running 8.6.0.2 or above you will no longer be able to monitor it using ScienceLogic. IBM have transitioned to using REST API. https://support.sciencelogic.com/s/release-version/aBu0z000000XZPdCAO/ibm-svcSL1 PowerFlow v3.1.0 is Released

Also available on the release download page are the SL1 PowerFlow Flow Control SyncPack v1.0.2 and the SL1 PowerFlow System Utils SyncPack v1.1.7. This release includes some important updates to the PowerFlow user interface, such as: A persistent footer now displays system information, including a last login timestamp and the PowerFlow version installed.
