Process Jobs and Relationships in CMDB

Build accurate dependency views from discovery data. Each process job maps relationships for a specific infrastructure area in Configuration Management Database (CMDB).

Required Editions

Available in: Lightning Experience
Available in: Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited Editions with Agentforce IT Service that have Discovery enabled.

Process jobs analyze data already collected by Discovery and create relationships among the corresponding configuration items in CMDB. Each job focuses on a specific infrastructure area. Select a job based on the dependency view that you want to build, and rerun it as your environment changes to keep the relationships current.

  • Application Dependency Mapping Process Job
    Build accurate application dependency views from observed network traffic. The Application Dependency Mapping process job links applications and hosts by using connection data collected during discovery.
  • Cloud Hierarchy Process Job
    Turn discovered AWS and Azure resources into navigable cloud architectures. The Cloud Hierarchy process job connects resources by using cloud identifiers so that you can trace infrastructure dependencies in Configuration Management Database (CMDB).
  • DevOps Process Job
    Understand dependencies across web, application, database, virtualization, cluster, and load-balancer layers. The DevOps process job creates relationships from configuration data collected during discovery.
  • Network Connections Process Job
    Visualize how network devices connect across Layer 2 and Layer 3 topology. The Network Connections process job links VLANs, switches, routers, end devices, and chassis clusters from discovered neighbor data.
  • Software Installation Process Job
    Build a product-level view of installed software and license information across discovered hosts. The Software Installation process job creates software and license configuration items and connects software products to their hosts.
  • vCenter Hierarchy Process Job
    Turn discovered VMware vCenter objects into a navigable virtualization hierarchy. The vCenter Hierarchy process job connects data centers, clusters, folders, ESXi hosts, virtual machines, and guest operating systems.
