Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 10, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 2 minutes to read  
Monitor and optimize Configuration Management Database (CMDB) settings that support configuration item (CI) data quality, Common Service Data Model (CSDM) alignment, and Data Foundations outcomes.

The CMDB success advisor for Data Foundations evaluates your current configuration across key areas such as:

* CMDB Data Manager ownership policies for principal classes
* Reconciliation rules ensuring the right integration source owns each attribute
* CI class manager configuration for principal class designation
