    Settings overview

    Each setting is checked for alignment with suggested business rules, reconciliation guidelines, and Data Manager policy coverage.

    Setting Description
    CI creation from assets using IRE Enables the automatic creation of a CI from an asset record using the CMDB Identification and Reconciliation Engine (IRE) for CI classes identified by serial number and without dependent relationships. Requires the relevant business rule to be active for CI creation to occur during asset insertion.
    Review reconciliation rules Evaluates whether reconciliation rules correctly assign attribute ownership to the authoritative integration source for each principal CI class. Helps prevent lower-quality integration sources from overwriting high-quality CI attribute data, maintaining accuracy and consistency across the CMDB.
    Review CMDB Data Manager policies Assesses the configuration of CMDB Data Manager policies, including archive, attestation, certification, delete, and retire, for your principal classes. Each policy type manages a specific life cycle action:
    Archive
    Archives inactive CIs without deleting them.
    Attestation
    Validates CI data or runs automated checks.
    Certification
    Verifies CI data for accuracy and readiness.
    Delete
    Removes CIs based on defined criteria such as inactivity.
    Retire
    Marks CIs as retired when no longer in use.
