Hello,
I am looking for some guidance. Has anyone captured CI information against say, if it's an issue with SharePoint or intranet or Skype for Business or any other, how can the same be captured in the CMDB?
Let's say for SharePoint / Intranet, what attributes could be captured in the CMDB?
Please advise.
Thanks and regards,
Looking for some guidance

Hello,
Most ITSM tools come with a predefined set of CIs based on common infrastructure (e.g. HP, NetApp, etc.) or applications (e.g. Oracle, Solarwinds, etc.). These generally are used for discovery and also to enable populating your CMDB. If your ITSM tool doens't have a predefined CI for what you want to track, you can define one in your CMDB.
Populating attributes in each CI can come with the definition or can be added manually by your configuration manager.
Once defined, you can then make reference to these CIs through your operational processes/practices.
I hope this helps.
