View CI attributes in an application service map classic Service Mapping

An application service map displays attributes for each configuration item (CI) that is part of the application service, as well as for the application service itself. The attributes come from the CMDB.

Role required: sm_admin or sm_user

About this task

You can view the following information for each CI:
Name label
The CI name. This attribute is either preconfigured on the CI or configured during CI installation.
Basic attributes
A summary of the most important CI attributes.
Detailed attributes
A complete list of all attributes collected for the CI.

Each CI type (CI class) has different attributes. For example, the Linux Server type has different attributes than the SQL Instance type.

If Service Mapping is deployed, the way CIs appear on the map depends on the view you select for the map. Attributes available for viewing also depend on the Service Mapping setup. For more information, see description of components installed with Service Mapping.
