CMDB (Configuration Management Database)
The CMDB is AtlasAI’s inventory of all configuration items (CIs) in your infrastructure — servers, services, databases, load balancers, cloud resources, and their relationships. It provides the foundational data layer that powers topology maps, impact analysis, and RCA.
Key Features
- Auto-discovery — Edge Agents and cloud integrations automatically populate the CMDB with hosts, services, and resources
- Relationship mapping — Define and auto-detect relationships (depends-on, runs-on, connects-to) between CIs
- CI types — Built-in types for hosts, services, databases, load balancers, Kubernetes resources, and cloud services
- Custom attributes — Extend any CI type with organization-specific fields (owner, cost center, compliance tier)
- Change tracking — Full audit history of every attribute change with timestamp and source
- Reconciliation — Automatic detection of drift between discovered state and expected state
- Bulk import/export — CSV and JSON import for migrating from existing CMDBs
- API access — RESTful API for programmatic CI management and integration with external tools
How to Access
Navigate to CMDB in the left sidebar. The default view shows a searchable table of all configuration items.
Basic Usage
- Open CMDB from the sidebar
- Browse CIs by type using the category filters (Hosts, Services, Databases, etc.)
- Click a CI to see its full attribute set, relationships, and change history
- Use Search to find CIs by name, IP, tag, or any attribute
- Click Add CI to manually register a configuration item
- Navigate to the Relationships tab to view and edit dependencies
- Check the Reconciliation page to review drift between actual and expected state
