Do you separate your asset database and CMDB? in c/sysadmin@lemmy.world

Thanks for sharing. And agree, never thought about needing to separate them out later but definitely easier to split rather than combine

This is cool, thank you for sharing. Especially interesting to hear about what made that CMDB so successful too.

Do you separate your asset database and CMDB? (lemmy.world)
 

Hi, I can't seem to find if there's a consensus on this so asking here.

Not all CIs are assets and not all assets are CIs. But many assets and CIs are the same physical or virtual thing.

I see some vendors (e.g. ServiceNow, Freshservice) have separate asset databases and CMDBs. and other (e.g. Jira Service Management) have a combined database.

Do you have any preference one way or the other? Are there pros and cons to do it a certain way? To me it seems like maintaining two databases is more fiddly and time consuming but I don't know.
