Learning objectives
When you finish this unit, you will be able to:
- Identify how to populate and maintain non-discoverable / manual CIs or non-discoverable attributes.
- Identify how to track security and regulatory compliance identifiers against CSDM objects.
- Identify how Asset and CI align.
Non-discoverable CIs and Asset alignment
Not every CI can be discovered automatically. Some records and attributes require manual maintenance or alternate ingestion paths.
Non-discoverable CIs and attributes
- Define processes for creating and updating manual CIs.
- Assign ownership for non-discoverable attributes.
- Use governance to prevent stale or orphaned records.
Compliance identifiers
Track security and regulatory compliance identifiers against the appropriate CSDM objects so audits and reporting remain accurate.
Asset and CI alignment
Understand how Asset Management records relate to CMDB CIs so financial, operational, and service views stay consistent.
Exam focus: scenarios involving manual CIs, compliance tracking, and Asset-CI alignment decisions.
