View, modify, or delete a managed field in Discovery Event Manager

Managed fields are important to ensuring that the Discovery Event Manager tool can process incoming configuration item (CI) data from Web services. When the inventory of your organization changes, you can add or update the CI types based on your new inventory requirements. You can also review the managed fields for existing CI types to determine if the necessary fields exist and add, modify, or delete managed fields.

Warning: If you are deleting a field, make sure you select the field you want to delete. If you delete the wrong field, you must add the field back into the Managed Fields tab.

To view, modify, or delete a managed field:

1. Click Tailoring > Web Services > Discovered Event Manager Rules. The Discovery Event Manager form is displayed.
2. Click Search to retrieve a list of CI ID types.
3. Select the ID type for the fields you want to view, and then select the Managed Fields tab. A list of managed fields for the selected CI type is displayed.
4. Select the field you want to edit or delete.
   • Make any necessary changes.
   • Click Delete to delete a field that is no longer valid.
   • Click Save.
5. Click OK.
