UCMDB Browser module

The UCMDB Browser module provides a simple and intuitive search for CIs in UCMDB and displays important data in the context of the selected CI. It is an ideal tool for providing quick access to specific CI information.

For a CI that is found as a result of a search query, relevant data is presented and gathered into information widgets (for example, the Policies widget). Data is presented by default in a Preview mode, with the option to view more comprehensive data in an Expanded mode.

The Browser module has a lightweight UI that ensures simple access to UCMDB information. No user administration is required (this is handled by the UCMDB UI), and no upgrades are needed when updating to a newer version.

Policy information from Configuration Manager is displayed using the Policies widget in the UCMDB Browser module. This widget is provided out of the box, and during installation the required federation configuration from Configuration Manager is created.

The Policies widget shows policy status (satisfied or in breach) for the selected CI that is federated to UCMDB from Configuration Manager. Additional federation adapters for policy information have been configured in UCMDB are also displayed.
