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.

Thanks for your post, I have reached out internally for some feedback here. 

Thanks, Sara

@kenwu Trying to understand - Is the concern here the payload size? Wondering if the unwanted attributes are coming in the way of sync, extending the time of the sync, etc.
