CMDB health and dashboards

A healthy CMDB is measured through structured metrics and visible in purpose-built dashboards.

CMDB Health Score

The health score is built from six metrics that reflect completeness, correctness, compliance, and overall data quality. Know what each metric represents and how poor scores indicate remediation priorities.

Dashboards for KPIs and CSFs

  • CMDB Health Dashboards support KPI and Critical Success Factor (CSF) tracking.
  • Use dashboards to validate data quality and data compliance.

This is the largest exam domain. Expect multiple questions on health metrics, dashboard usage, and data quality validation workflows.
