`discovery.error_framework.cmdb_lookup.priority`

The discovery.error_framework.cmdb_lookup.priority property defines a JSON array of encoded query filters for prioritizing configuration items (CIs) in the CMDB lookup. Admins should review this property to ensure the correct CIs are returned based on their specific hierarchy and status requirements.

Default: ["sys_class_nameINSTANCEOFcmdb_ci_server","sys_class_nameINSTANCEOFcmdb_ci_netgear"]
Type: string
Application: Global

Key questions about this property

The answers below summarize the purpose, scope, default effect, and review scenarios for this property.

What does it do?	This property configures the priority of CIs returned in the CI Lookup attribute by specifying encoded query filters based on CI class and status.
What area does it affect?	CMDB Lookup Configuration
What does the default mean?	The default value is "["sys_class_nameINSTANCEOFcmdb_ci_server","sys_class_nameINSTANCEOFcmdb_ci_netgear"]", which is the baseline setting used unless it is changed.
When should you review it?	Review this property when adjusting CI prioritization for discovery processes or when modifying CI class hierarchies.

Out of the box property record

Raw metadata from the property record.

Property name	`discovery.error_framework.cmdb_lookup.priority`
Sys ID	`6cafc3aff7d24672b6f867ebe2c9f375`
Type	string
Application	Global
Default value	`["sys_class_nameINSTANCEOFcmdb_ci_server","sys_class_nameINSTANCEOFcmdb_ci_netgear"]`
Description	Capture a JSON array of ENCODED QUERY FILTERS for the CMDB (starting with CI Class) to prioritize which CI is returned and populated in the CI Lookup attribute. EMPTY value implies there is no preference for the CI Lookup. Default (out-of-the-box) Encoded Query Filter: sys_class_nameINSTANCEOFcmdb_ci_server,sys_class_nameINSTANCEOFcmdb_ci_netgear. The above Encoded Query Filter prioritizes CIs in the Server Hierarchy followed by CIs in the Network Gear Hierarchy. Other Examples: sys_class_name=cmdb_ci_win_server^install_status=1,sys_class_name=cmdb_ci_win_server^install_status=7. The above Encoded Query Filter prioritizes installed Windows Servers followed by retired Windows Servers. Tip: Using the IS A filter, for example, CI Class IS A Server (sys_class_nameINSTANCEOFcmdb_ci_server) is an easy way to prioritize the lookup for all CIs under a Table Hierarchy in the CMDB.
