Standalone Application
This application automates the synchronization of Arista CloudVision switches into the ServiceNow CMDB. By replacing manual updates with a scheduled process, it ensures network data remains accurate and reliable.
Every day at 1:00 AM, the app retrieves the latest switch data via the Arista CloudVision REST API. Data is pulled into a staging table and processed through a transform map using the Identification and Reconciliation Engine (IRE). This standardized workflow ensures switch records are correctly inserted or updated while strictly preventing duplicate entries.
- Scheduled Daily Sync: Automatically triggers a 1:00 AM import from the Arista CloudVision REST API to keep the CMDB updated.
- Staging & Transformation: Imports raw switch data into a staging table for structured processing via ServiceNow transform maps.
- IRE Integration: Routes all data through the Identification and Reconciliation Engine (IRE) to ensure accurate CI insertion and prevent duplicates.
