Modules · CMDB

See what you run, and everything that depends on it.

The CMDB describes the items in your information system and how they are linked, in a repository you structure yourself. Before you intervene, you know what will be affected; afterwards, you know what changed.

  • Types and fields defined without development
  • Dependency graph at the depth you choose
  • Every version available

01Before you intervene

The graph shows what an item hosts and what depends on it.

Choose the depth and the relationship types: the graph unfolds everything that relies on a service, a server or an application. Change management uses it to calculate the affected items.

The graph shows what an item hosts and what depends on it.

02Over time

Every change leaves a version.

Who changed what, and when: the history keeps every version of an item, available at any time. Read, write and delete rights are set by group and by item type.

Every change leaves a version.

03Built around you

A repository that follows your organisation, not the other way round.

Server, application, licence, network device or any other type: you create types, their fields and their inheritance without development, then export the configuration to import it into another environment.

A repository that follows your organisation, not the other way round.

One repository for every module.

Assets, supplier contracts and devices discovered on the network are repository items, with no double entry. The Service Desk, change management and monitoring all rely on the same description.

Duplicates stay out.

Devices discovered on the network are matched by serial number, MAC address or name before they enter the repository.

I’m blown away!
