    このタスクについて

    Often, an incident is related to one or more specific configuration items (CIs). If the configuration management database (CMDB) is populated, the CI records hold valuable information to help resolve incidents. You can associate configuration items to an incident to see how the incident affects dependent CIs.

    Use the Configuration Item field when a single CI is the cause of the incident and use the Affected CIs related list when multiple CIs are affected by the incident. For example, suppose a load-balancer in a data center is no longer operational. The Configuration Item field lists the specific server which is out of memory. The Affected CI related list contains the load-balancer, the data center, the servers that depend on the load-balancer, and business services that are impacted by the missing server.
