What is the CMDB Dashboard primarily used for?

The CMDB Dashboard is primarily utilized for providing a high-level view of the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) health. This dashboard aggregates various metrics and key performance indicators related to the configuration items (CIs) within the CMDB, allowing stakeholders to assess the quality, completeness, and accuracy of the CMDB data. It typically displays information such as the number of CIs, relationships between CIs, and any issues or discrepancies that may affect data integrity. This visibility is crucial for effective decision-making and ensuring the CMDB supports IT service management processes efficiently.

In contrast, other options focus on different functionalities. Monitoring user access to CIs pertains more to security and access control, rather than the overall health of the CMDB. Managing service requests is relevant to IT service management processes, but it does not specifically address the state of the CMDB. Tracking performance metrics of applications is a distinct area of monitoring that does not relate to the health or management of the CMDB itself.
