Converting agent gathered Software to be Config Items within CMDB

Hi lujoki,

Currently the only way to make them a CI is to manually create the CI with the information. We are working on adding all assets (Computers, Other Assets, Mobile Devices, Software, Contract, etc) to the CI data model so you can easily attach them to other CIs and build out your CMDB. This work is ongoing with Network Devices being the first to move over.

Thanks joeybrown

The way I see it working due to the many different software versions you could have a parent 'Software' CI and links all versions within it.

E.g Microsoft Edge (Parent CI) links to all versions. e.g 95.0.1020.40

Not sure you'd want a CI per version, you'd end up with thousands of unnecessary CIs

lujoki my plan is exactly what you are thinking. I want to bundle all software versions into a single parent CI which you can then see all the versions under it. I plan on doing this work in the Software area first before moving them all to the CMDB. 

Would you be open to have a call about this as I work on the design and requirements?

More then happy to joeybrown

Hi joeybrown - wondering if there had been any movement on this development? 
Thanks in advanced.

Hi lujoki, the first part of this work which is better bundling of the software titles is planned for the second half of this year. Moving the software titles into the CMDB will most likely start in the beginning of 2023. This timelines can change based on priority and bandwidth.
