Incident data model: Configuration Item details

HPE Service Manager has a Configuration Management module that captures information on CIs (individual, groups, and services). CIs can be captured as the subject of an Incident record, which links the records. Users can access a subject CI record from an Incident record, and can access all Incident records associated with a CI from the CI record.

When initiating an Incident, the user can attach a CI if known at the time. The user can, given the correct access rights, “drill down” to the CI details.

Through integration with HPE UCMDB discovery capabilities, users can investigate and compare differences between the managed state of a CI and the discovered actual state. For example, if these are different, the difference could have been caused by an unsuccessful recent change to the CI.
