Looking for Advice: CMDB Archival & Staleness Strategy for Legacy CMDB (200+ Classes)

Hi Community,

We are designing an archival process to identify stale records across 200+ CMDB classes populated over time via various ingestion methods without IRE or archival rules.

Our current criteria for identifying stale CIs relies on Created by, Most recent discovery, and checking for orphaned relationships.

For those who have remediated a large, unmonitored CMDB:

  • What criteria/attributes provided the most reliable signal for "staleness"?

  • Did you use ServiceNow Data Manager or custom archival rules?

  • What pitfalls should we watch out for before archiving at scale?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience!
