20 Steps to define a data source: Manual Automatic discovery Configuration and setup efforts How do you manage changes How do you manage obsolete information Can you manage the virtual components Is there an owner for the virtual components Can you access the complete information on a given? URL Security Limit the number of attributes to what is absolutely necessary and the one which need a quick access for the Desk for example. Identify which reports or flashboards are needed from within the CMDB tool for quick analysis. More complex analysis may be addressed by specialized reporting tools. For example, if you have Business Objects, the Universe may take in account the complete Virtual CMDB. 20 Fox IT 2007
