    Pourquoi et quand exécuter cette tâche

    The base system configuration includes the following tables and relates them to items in the Computer [cmdb_ci_computer] and Server [cmdb_ci_server] tables.
    • Disk [cmdb_ci_disk]
    • Network Adapter [cmdb_ci_network_adapter]
    • Database [cmdb_ci_database]
    Some additional referenced CIs that can be related in this manner are file systems and running processes.

    In the following example, computer nodes in the map are related to network adapter nodes if the Configuration Item field of the adapter records reference the specific CI node. Access or create a network adapter record from the Network Adapter related list in the cmdb_ci_computer record.

    The Dependency Views map for the *JEMPLOYEE-IBM computer shows the network adapter attached to the computer.

    You can configure Dependency Views to display CIs that have no relationship record, but are related to other CIs by reference fields.
