Azure Source Connector for CI Synchronizer

Microsoft Azure is a comprehensive cloud computing platform that empowers organisations to build, deploy, and manage a wide range of applications and services through a global network of data centers with capabilities spanning virtual computing, storage, networking, databases, and AI.

Seamlessly integrate CI Synchronizer with Azure to populate your Configuration Management Database (CMDB) with the assets contained in your Azure infrastructure to ensure you have complete visibility of your Azure operational landscape.

The integration requires minimal configuration to connect to your Azure Tenancy. All that is required is an Azure AD application registration with access to your subscriptions and you are up and running.

Supports multiple Azure Tenancies
Supports delta synchronisations by maintaining checksums of the last successfully synchronised version of every record.

Comprehensive Coverage

Currently extracts and synchronises 10 Azure resource classes with more to come.

Dynamically Generates CI-to-CI Relationships

Detects 22 discrete dependency types between your Azure resources and generates the corresponding relationships in your CMDB.

Tags Mapping

Provides for the configuration of tag value mapping to field values. Talk to us about how our customers have been able to populate the Lansweeper CI record's environment, support group and resource owner from their Azure tag values.

Detects Instantiated Computers

Automatically finds corresponding computer CI records that have been synchronised from other discovery sources and creates a relationship in the destination system so the dependency on the underlying virtualisation host is known in your CMDB.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. CI Synchronizer has a highly customisable rules engine. Such changes are made by Syncfish.

Yes. CI Synchronizer can detect which source records have changed since the previous synchronisation job and only sync the newly changed source data.

Yes. Please use the “Organise a Demo” button or visit the Contact Us page to book a time to meet with one of the Syncfish team.

No. Each customer is provisioned with a dedicated CI Synchronizer instance.

No. The source asset data (read from the relevant source system by one of the CI Synchronizer connectors) is transited through your dedicated CI Synchronizer instance then deleted after it’s been processed into ServiceNow.

Many! Check out each source connector page for details of the supported assets and other records.

Throughput is affected by factors outside of the control of CI Synchronizer, however we see a typical throughput of between 200,000 and 400,000 records per hour (and even higher rates are possible).

Ultimately the customer decides, however Syncfish recommends hosting each customer instance physically close to the location of their ServiceNow instance (for best performance). It can be hosted in most/all Azure Regions globally (it is still hosted/managed/maintained by Syncfish, but the customer decides which geography it is physically located in).
