The CMDB records Configuration Item s (CI) and details about the important attributes and relationships between CIs. Configuration managers usually describe CIs using three configurable attributes:
# Technical
# Ownership
# Relationship
A key success factor in implementing a CMDB is the ability to automatically discover information about the CIs (auto-discovery) and track changes as they happen.
CMDBs contain metadata, and thus the concept overlaps with that of a Metadata repository which are both used in running large IT organizations. Configuration management addresses how the data is to be kept up to date, which has historically been a weakness of metadata repositories.
