Feature Request: Ability to connect an Automation in Orchestrator to a CMDB

Feedback Orchestrator
1

As an RPA Developer, I want the ability to integrate to my enterprise CMDB to create a relationship between each automation in Orchestrator to a CI so that there is a direct linkage of the virtual asset for application platform management.

For example, when I create my automation, I can have that automation report back to my CMDB an artifact UUID, which will also indicate which VDI the automation is running on that will then associate that VDI to the CI in my CMDB.

This same integration can be used in other areas of Automation Cloud, such as Automation Hub when it comes to selecting applications that are used within each automation. It reduces duplicative information in the UiPath platform and allows for it to use the enterprises’ source of truth.

Generally the connection will flow the other way. Your CMDB should connect to the Orchestrator database to collect data on your automations etc.

If your CMDB has API features, you can use the Orchestrator API for it to get the data.

Thanks @postwick . By chance, do you have this working in your enterprise or have seen this working somewhere?

I haven’t done it with Orchestrator but I have done it with ServiceNow and other systems. It’s pretty standard stuff. Look into your CMDB system’s API capabilities. If it can call other systems’ APIs, then you can use the Orchestrator API to load the data into your CMDB.
