What is CMDBf?
CMDBf is an industry standard for federating management data from multiple Configuration Management Databases (CMDBs). Each CMDB is a Management Data Repository (MDR) containing configuration item resources and their relationships. The federation provides an aggregate view of heterogenous resources from multiple MDRs.
Refer to CMDBf.org
CMDBf components
- Client application
- Federating CMDB (CMDBf)
- Management Data Repository (MDR)
CMDBf services
- Query Service - produced by the MDR and the CMDBf; consumed by the client (which may be a CMDBf)
- Registration Service - produced by the CMDBf; consumed by the MDR.
CMDBf interactions
The MDRs register themselves with the CMDBf using the Registration Service.
The Client application invokes the Query Service of a CMDBf, which aggregates the results of the Query Service of one or more MDRs.
How does COSMOS help me build and deliver CMDBf components to provide customer solutions?
COSMOS provides CMDBf specific features that enable you to quickly develop, test and deploy CMDBf components.
In addition, since the CMDBf and MDRs are implemented in COSMOS as Data Managers, you can integrate and leverage all the COSMOS components.
The COSMOS CMDBf features include:
MDR tooling
A wizard that generates an MDR
CMDBf transformation services
Utilities for processing CMDBf requests and responses (parsing and conversion)
CMDBf registration services
Utilities to perform CMDBf registration
Support for CMDBf service metadata
Service metadata transformations and inclusion in WSDL.
A Broker service that supports CMDBf components
All components can utilize the Broker service to locate other CMDBf components.
Web User Interface for CMDBf query results
The Web UI visualizes CMDBf graph query responses.
Sample code for MDRs
COSMOS includes an example MDR and a registration example.
