Discovered Items form fields

Assets are automatically matched to configuration items (CIs) in the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) when they’re imported using the CI Lookup Rules. Records for unmatched CIs are automatically created during third-party vulnerability integration imports and included in Discovered Items. However, for cloud assets that aren’t present in CMDB Cl, the record is created in the cloud resource class.

Discovered Items fields

The information in these records is ingested from the third-party records and classified during import.

These fields are found on records listed in the Discovered Items [sn_sec_cmn_src_ci] table.

To view imported data in the fields listed in the following tables, you must have, at a minimum, the sn_vul.read_all role.

FieldDescription
NumberIdentifier assigned to the record.
Configuration ItemConfiguration item that is imported from the third-party source integration.Starting from v12.0, Configuration Item is the latest CI from the list of CIs after filtering the decommissioned ones.
ClassClass assigned to the CI during import by Vulnerability Response.
SourceSource that is imported from the third-party source integration.
CI matching ruleThe CI matching rule that was used to create the item.
V18.0: Matching type for the DI

Matching type used to create the discovered item. Options are:- Created by VR - Created by IRE - Matched by CI lookup - Matched by IRE - Matched manually (Starting with v24.0.6 of Vulnerability Response, you can view this additional option. This option is set automatically if you manually update a CI on the Discovered Item form.)

This information is only available for data that is populated for Vulnerability Response v18.0 and later. On existing data, this column doesn’t contain any value. Note: If you reapply the CI lookup rules, some CIs on DIs might be updated, resulting in this column being populated.

Other matched CIsList of the other configuration items matching the CI lookup rule.
StateState of the CI that is determined during import. Choices are:- Matched: A matching configuration item was found in the CMDB. - Unmatched: No match was found in the CMDB. A placeholder record is created.
CreatedDate when the Discovered Item record was created.
UpdatedDate when the Discovered Item record was updated.
Updated byUser who updated the data.
Host tagHost tags assigned to this discovered item during import. You can have up to 31 host tags per discovered item.
Fully qualified domain nameData associated with this CI found in the CMDB.
MAC AddressData associated with this CI found in the CMDB.
Operating SystemOperating system associated with this CI.
NetBIOSNetBIOS imported from the third-party source integration.
IP addressData associated with this CI found in the CMDB.
Source dataLatest data associated with this CI from the source.
V16: Initial source dataInitial data associated with this CI from the source.
V16: Reevaluate CIReceives data from the scanner. If there’s updated data, the value is set to true.Note: The source data values are recalculated according to the latest source data. When updated data is retrieved from the scanner, the source data is updated. The existing source data value is moved to the initial source data field. To reevaluate the discovered items, activate the Re-apply CI Lookup Rules on the Changed Discovered items scheduled job.
Agent existsIndicates true if the agent is installed on the asset. If the hostUID and UUID values in the Source data column are empty, this value populates as true. Note: This field appears starting from v19.0 of Vulnerability Response.

Starting with v23.0 of Vulnerability Response, the Test Result Compliance % (CI) column shows the percentage of test results that are compliant for the corresponding CI. To obtain this value, you must set the calcTRComplianceForCI to true in the Update remediation metrics scheduled job.

Note: The Test Result Compliance % (CI) value populates only for the Discovered Items which have a non-empty value in either the Last Configuration Compliance scan date or Non-infra last compliance scan date columns.

Starting with version 18.0 of Vulnerability Response, Qualys, Tenable for Vulnerability Response and Rapid7 scanners can receive the following additional metadata for cloud assets.

FieldDescription
Cloud service providerName of the cloud service provider that offers cloud computing services. For example, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
Cloud regionLocation where the resource has been hosted.
Cloud accountAccount provided by cloud service providers such as AWS, GCP, and so on to access cloud computing services.
Cloud resource typeTypes of assets present in the cloud such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) machine, AWS S3 buckets and so on.
Resource IDUnique identifier that is assigned to a resource in a cloud computing environment. This ID is used to identify and manage the resource.
Resource nameUser-defined name used to identify and manage a resource in a cloud computing environment.
ImageVirtual machine image or a server image, is a pre-configured virtual machine that contains an operating system, applications, and other software. For example, Amazon Machine Image.

A new CI Lookup Rule, ‘Cloud Resource ID’, has been introduced to match the cloud CIs based on the cloud metadata.
