Variance Type on the CMDB Discovery Mapping page
What's New?
A new Variance Type column is added on the CMDB DISCOVERY MAPPING page (CMDB > Configuration > CMDB Discovery Mapping > Specify the required details and click SUBMIT). The data from the Discovery can be updated in CMDB either automatically or manually for the mapped attribute fields. If the Variance Type is selected as Automatic, the mapped CMDB fields are automatically updated when Asset Variance is found in the Discovery. For automatic update, a job needs to be configured. If the Variance Type is selected as Show Variance, the Variance is displayed on the CMDB Variance details page (Hardware or Software) and Baseline page. The Variance should be baseline by a user (see: Hardware Variance and Software Variance).

Note:
The Variance data of the Asset are not displayed on the CMDB Hardware Variance Details page and Baseline page if the Variance Type is selected as Automatic.
For more information, see Configuring CMDB Discovery Mapping.
