Zenoss Integration With CMDB Tools

A configuration management database (CMDB) is a repository that acts as a data warehouse for IT installations. Many organizations use the CMDB as the starting point for an IT infrastructure monitoring solution to seed the infrastructure elements that need to be monitored. Having this operational perspective of the CMDB provides a more holistic view of the IT infrastructure model and the services built on top of it. CMDB is an invaluable integration source because Zenoss can leverage its contents to automatically identify both new and modified resources to monitor. Zenoss can improve CMDB accuracy by supplementing its database with real-time information and newly discovered IT resources, benefiting the people and applications that rely on it.

The ability to import business services from CMDB into the impact module was a huge timesaver, and it was important to us that we would no longer be required to manually update the CMDB.
