Use case · CMDB enrichment

Configuration data your teams can actually trust

CMDBs go stale the moment CIs, relationships and topology live across five different systems — and ephemeral cloud resources make it worse. ZigiOps keeps configuration data enriched and accurate by syncing from the systems that actually own it.

The problem

CMDB records drift out of date within weeks. Containers and cloud resources scale up and down faster than anyone can update a CI by hand, relationships break silently, and teams stop trusting the CMDB — so they stop using it for the change approvals it was built to support.

The solution

ZigiOps continuously enriches CMDB CIs, relationships and topology from ServiceNow, monitoring tools and cloud/Kubernetes inventories — so configuration data reflects what's actually running, in real time, without manual reconciliation.

Where this shows up

Specific moments this breaks today, and what changes.

Ephemeral containers outrun the CMDB

Kubernetes pods scale up and down hundreds of times a day — by the time anyone updates a CI by hand, the workload it describes no longer exists, or a new one does.

KubernetesServiceNow CMDB
Live cluster topology syncs continuously, so the CMDB reflects what's actually running, not last week's snapshot.
A change gets approved against a dead dependency

A change ticket references an upstream service that was decommissioned two months ago — the CAB approves it anyway because the CMDB never caught up.

DynatraceServiceNow CMDB
Dependency maps stay current from monitoring data, so approvals are based on live topology, not stale records.
Two teams, two versions of the same CI

The network team updates BMC Atrium, the cloud team updates resource tags in Azure — nobody reconciles the two, so the CI record depends on who you ask.

BMC AtriumAzure Monitor
Both sources sync into one CI record continuously, so there's a single version of the truth.

How it works

Connect CMDB and source systems

Link ServiceNow CMDB with monitoring, cloud and Kubernetes discovery tools that hold live CI data.

Map CIs and relationships visually

No-code mapping of CI types, attributes and topology relationships between systems.

Sync continuously

CI records, relationships and status update in real time as your environment changes.

Frequently asked questions

Which systems can feed the CMDB?

ServiceNow, BMC Remedy/Atrium, monitoring tools like Dynatrace and Datadog, cloud inventories via Azure Monitor and CloudWatch, and Kubernetes cluster state.

Will this change our existing CMDB structure?

No. ZigiOps maps into your existing CI types and relationships — it enriches what's there rather than replacing your data model.

Can it keep up with ephemeral cloud and container resources?

Yes — sync runs continuously, so short-lived pods, instances and services are reflected (and retired) in near real time instead of lingering as ghost CIs.

Does enrichment run continuously?

Yes, in real time by default, or on a schedule if you prefer batch updates for specific CI types.
