json support in CMDBuild classes

Hello all. New to the community, as my company is evaluating CMDBbuild.

We are primarily an AWS shop, and I’d like to be able to bring “AWS describe” (as in describe an ec2 instance) data into CMDBuild. Those data are json blobs, and I’ve been storing them in a PostgreSQL jsonb field. Then I can write queries that pull anything I need out of the json, e.g. the value of a tag. Hope I’m being clear.

I guess my question is whether I can do something like this in CMDBuild. I know I can translate the describe data into normal interger/string fields during import, but it’s a pain and potentially brittle. I’ve learned that through experience. :slight_smile:
