Staleness is CMDB dashboard

Hi,

I setup a Staleness rule as 45 days in CI class manager. But still I am seeing lot of VM components and Servers are showing in the Staleness metrics. The devices which are showing as Stales are not exactly correct ones. Actually their Most recent discovery is Yesterday only. Does anyone have any idea how Stale CI's are calculated?

Regards,

Vivek

I've noticed the same thing.   The docs page on CMDB health is not super helpful.   I've changed the number of days in our instance and the total number changes, but always 100% of the CIs show as stale.   Vivek, are you seeing similar or even a breach of the thresholds you've set, something else?


Super old post but here's the fix:


Go to Health Properties and set the value to something like 3600 for this property: "If a configuration item is not updated for these number of days, it is considered a stale record"


That way rather then marking all your records as stale it will wait 10yrs to mark as stale and allow your CMDB Health Staleness Rules take precedence.
