When Scanning the key should be configurable from IP address to Hostname

When assets are pulled in from CMDB Service Now IP address information is not held. Therefore the scanner will pick up many IP addresses where the Asset is available but no IP information is entered. The ask is to include in M7 the ability to configure if the scanning key is IP address or Hostname. 

Hi Beena,

Will review the other set of questions and come back to you.

For STVM – I – 128, following are my clarification question:

1. Per your requirement description, “When Scanning the key should be configurable from IP address to Hostname”. On the scanner, we do not have the control which means we cannot change the IP address to Hostname on the scanner.
2. Per my understanding, your ask is to store the scan results based on Host address and not IP address. If yes, please change the description details accordingly.
3. Do you have the option to set the Scan on Scanner based on Hostname ?
4. I understand that, from ServiceNow CMDB we are not able to get IP address but all the assets are created in GRC framework with host details and hence your requirement.

Thanks,

Bhavya

Hi Bhavya,

This is correct, we have not control on the scanner, the scanner results brings back the IP address and the hostname in the results everytime. What DWP are stating is they need to be able to update scanner results in Metricstream based on the hostname received not the IP address as they do not receive this from CMDB connector when they upload Assets.

I will update the log with the same information.

Thanks

Beena

This is a must requirement for DWP
