Use the ServiceNow® Configuration Management Database (CMDB) application to build logical representations of assets, services, and the relationships between them that comprise the infrastructure of your organization. Details about these components are stored in the CMDB as configuration items (CIs) which you can use to monitor the infrastructure, helping ensure integrity, stability, and continuous service operation.
Overview of Configuration Management Database (CMDB)
Use core features such as CMDB Health, CMDB Identification and Reconciliation, and CMDB Data Manager to monitor and detect health issues, reconcile data integrity issues, and manage data life cycle.
