Hello everyone,
I am researching duplicate checks to maintain the health of the CMDB.
As a result of my investigation, I have the impression that "IRE" is used in many places.
However, the CMDB Health job regularly performs duplicate checks.
*Job = CMDB Health - Duplicate Metric algorithm
There was a mention that CMDB Health - Duplicate Metric algorithm also uses IRE.
Therefore, I would like to know the differences between CMDB Health - Duplicate Metric algorithm and IRE.
1. There was a mention that CMDB Health - Duplicate Metric algorithm does not check all CIs,
but is CMDB Health - Duplicate Metric algorithm just narrowing down the CIs to search?
2. In addition to "IRE," is it performing a detailed duplicate check? (Searching more thoroughly than identification rules?)
