About

neatlogic-cmdb is a configuration management module, which can achieve automatic discovery and collection when paired with neatlogic-autoexec. It supports the modification of configuration items in the process when paired with neatlogic-itsm, and it supports automatic data push to the People's Bank of China when used with neatlogic-pbc. neatlogic-cmdb adopts the design concept of "Everything is CI", and supports the direct transformation of external data into configuration items for cmdb internal consumption, such as user information, organizational structure information, etc. neatlogic-cmdb cannot be deployed or built independently. If you need to build and deploy, please refer to the instructions in the neatlogic-itom-all documentation.

Features

Custom Model

Supports custom models and model inheritance.

• Support multiple attribute types such as reference attribute, password, attachment, text, number, date time, expression, etc.
• Relationships support bidirectional rules

Custom Views

Custom views allow users to have the ability to reorganize data. Users can reorganize the relationship between models through configuration, or skip intermediate models and go directly to the target model to meet different data consumption scenarios.

• Visual data view configuration.
• A small amount of code development for the data view can achieve more personalized display effects.
• Visual topology view configuration.

Configuration item transaction

Imitate the database to introduce transaction design, configuration item modification supports two-stage submission, support modification and effective decentralization processing, support transaction recovery, comparison and other functions

• Global transaction management to facilitate discovery of recently modified configuration items.
• Complete display of configuration item modification records.

Topology

Support layered, star and other automatic layout methods.

• Model topology
• configuration item topology
• Custom view topology (similar to configuration item topology, but the relationship is generated according to the custom view)

Authorization

In addition to the traditional authorization by model, it also supports the authorization of individual configuration items through rules.

• Model permission settings
• Licensing by group

Global search

• Quickly query configuration items through full-text indexing.

All Features

Number	Category	Feature	Description
