Segmentation Analysis Overview

The Segmentation Analysis module can create CI segments (groups of CIs with similar configurations).

You use the CI Type Manager in Universal CMDB to define the relevant CI matching rules. For details, see Matching Rules Page. If an attribute is specified as a required matching attribute and an exact match is not found, component CIs are not considered to be part of the same segment.

You select CIs as input and specify the desired level of similarity between the CIs in each segment that is created. When selecting CIs as input, there does not need to be any specific similarity between them. Configuration Manager generates a list of segments and creates a configuration model for each segment. Every CI that you selected as input becomes part of one of the created segments.

You can select a segment and then analyze it in the Baseline Analysis module, or use the CIs that it contains as the basis for a different model.
