Building knowledgebase of dependencies between configuration items in it environment
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11954503B2) outlines a method for building a knowledgebase of dependencies between Configuration Items (CIs) in an IT computing environment. The method involves mapping each CI with specific actions, tracking and capturing actions performed on CIs, identifying dependencies based on these actions, and forming a dependency topology. This process is repeated for each activity associated with reported CIs, ultimately creating a knowledgebase that enables the dynamic identification of relationships between various CIs in the IT environment.
Furthermore, the patent describes a system that implements this method, comprising a memory storing program instructions, a processor executing these instructions, and a knowledgebase building engine. The engine maps CIs with actions, tracks and captures actions, identifies dependencies, and forms dependency topologies. It also includes features such as action mapping and capturing units, interface units for user inputs, and visualizer units for illustrating dependency topologies graphically. The system aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the relationships between CIs in an IT environment, facilitating efficient management and troubleshooting processes based on the performance of mapped actions.
