ASM servicenow observer to provide improved filtering of data either within the observation or post collection prior to insertion

Hi - Understanding that these fields were just recently added to the instance of IT Planning, and is a very welcome update. We would like these fields added to the processing, when publishing plans from IT Planning to CT. These fields will help identify updates made to our metadata. We were expecting these fields to be included in the push, as a majority of the other fields are included.

Please upkeep security of the product, by making available newer priv protocol AES. DES which is the only option available now, has been deprecated by IEEE framework. Consquently removed from linux OS, net-snmp , and openssl 3.x

Group membership should be easily visible for each VM

When I look at a VM I can see an overview, details, policies, actions. I would like to be able to see what groups the VM is part of in this same view. Having to go into reports to find the groups for a VM is not a good user experience. Thank you.
