HI Apurva, 

There are 2 things that is discussed here.

  1. What are the attributes that we are sending to ServiceNow, the example above, provide 8 attributes that will get ignore by ServiceNow. as per Cpu / software / serial number
  2. As the above payload for 1 Ci, we have 30 attributes while that minimally, 8 of them are ignored by ServiceNow, as they are mapped as they are available in SL/PF. That's nearly 25% of payload.  

When we are synching 80K devices, that will change the payload size and wait time.
