Issues build up over time, but without visibility, they go unnoticed until they impact operations. A [CMDB health assessment](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/blog/cmdb-health-assessment-what-it-involves-and-what-it-risks) is how you find out what has already built up. ![Desk with a monitor and tablet in a bright office overlooking a city](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Act3%20child/images/3.webp?width=1200&height=900&name=3.webp) ## Monitor the health of your CMDB A CMDB health dashboard provides a clear, ongoing view of [data quality](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/cmdb-best-practices). It highlights: Inaccurate or incomplete configuration items Inaccurate or incomplete configuration items Broken or missing relationships Broken or missing relationships Data inconsistencies Data inconsistencies Coverage gaps Coverage gaps Non-compliant devices or systems Non-compliant devices or systems ## What we deliver We design dashboards that track: #### Data completeness Are all required configuration items present? #### Data correctness Is the information accurate and consistent? #### Relationship integrity Are system dependencies properly mapped? #### Compliance metrics Are your devices and systems meeting defined standards? ## Making dashboards meaningful Many dashboards fail because they rely on generic or default KPIs. We focus on: - Metrics aligned to real operational outcomes - Clear, actionable insights - Simplicity and usability The [3 Cs of a CMDB](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/blog/the-3-cs-of-a-cmdb-completeness-correctness-and-compliance-in-practice) are a sound starting frame for those metrics, and the dashboard is used through [CMDB Workspace](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/cmdb-workspace-servicenow) in ServiceNow. ## Reporting that catches what a score can't A health score shows how the data measures today. Reporting shows where it is drifting, and who is affected when it does. On one manufacturing estate, ownership data hadn't kept pace with staff departures, so a critical piece of software still showed a former employee as its owner. When a vulnerability was identified in that software, the patching task went to someone who'd left months earlier. Nobody else was flagged, because no report existed that would have shown ownership data going stale. The gap only came to light in the post-mortem after a breach. Using ServiceNow's native reporting tools, we build the reporting that would have caught it: - **Infrastructure visibility.** What systems exist, how they connect, and where technical debt sits. - **Service dependency reporting.** How applications and services rely on the infrastructure underneath them. - **Risk and compliance reporting.** Gaps, inconsistencies and potential risks, such as a configuration item whose owner no longer exists. - **Operational dashboards.** Clear, current views for leadership. Reports built without an understanding of the data relationships look plausible while missing what matters. KPIs that measure what's easy to count, rather than what's tied to an outcome, leave the gaps that matter unreported. We build reporting that is practical and usable, so the gaps surface before they become the reason for a post-mortem. ![Colleagues working at desks in an open-plan office](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Act3%20child/images/7.webp?width=1200&height=900&name=7.webp) ## The outcome Early identification of data issues Continuous improvement of CMDB quality Greater confidence in configuration data Improved visibility of device, system, and security compliance Need better visibility into your CMDB health? Speak to Apex about building dashboards and reports that highlight what really matters, or start with a [CMDB health check](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/cmdb-consultation).  ## CMDB health dashboard questions ### What should a CMDB health dashboard actually measure? Trust indicators, not just record counts: ownership coverage, duplicate rates, discovery credential health, and how often data gets corrected after the fact. ### How often should CMDB health be reported on? Continuously, or as close to it as your discovery schedule allows. A quarterly snapshot misses the incident that happened in week two. ### Who should own the CMDB health dashboard? Whoever is accountable for CMDB data quality day to day, with visibility shared up to IT operations leadership, not the other way round. ### Can a dashboard fix a CMDB that isn't trusted? No, but it shows where to fix it. The dashboard measures; the health baseline and remediation work are what actually change the numbers. ## Trusted by Organisations Worldwide ![Nova Action logo](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/hs-fs/hubfs/14%20(1).webp?width=144&height=90&name=14%20(1).webp) ![RTL Kockica logo](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/hs-fs/hubfs/26%20(1).webp?width=144&height=90&name=26%20(1).webp) ![RTL Living logo](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/hs-fs/hubfs/27%20(1).webp?width=144&height=90&name=27%20(1).webp) ![RTL Croatia World logo](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/hs-fs/hubfs/25%20(1).webp?width=144&height=90&name=25%20(1).webp) ![Markíza Krimi logo](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/hs-fs/hubfs/12%20(1).webp?width=144&height=90&name=12%20(1).webp) ![Nova Fun logo](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/hs-fs/hubfs/16%20(1).webp?width=144&height=90&name=16%20(1).webp) ![TV Markíza logo](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/hs-fs/hubfs/13%20(1).webp?width=144&height=90&name=13%20(1).webp) ![Nova Cinema logo](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/hs-fs/hubfs/15%20(1).webp?width=144&height=90&name=15%20(1).webp) ![TV Nova logo](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/hs-fs/hubfs/17%20(1).webp?width=144&height=90&name=17%20(1).webp) ![Nova Krimi logo](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/hs-fs/hubfs/18%20(1).webp?width=144&height=90&name=18%20(1).webp) ![Pro Cinema logo](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/hs-fs/hubfs/20%20(1).webp?width=144&height=90&name=20%20(1).webp) ![Nova Lady logo](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/hs-fs/hubfs/19%20(1).webp?width=144&height=90&name=19%20(1).webp) ![Pro TV International logo](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/hs-fs/hubfs/21%20(1).webp?width=144&height=90&name=21%20(1).webp) ![RTL Adria logo](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/hs-fs/hubfs/23%20(1).webp?width=144&height=90&name=23%20(1).webp) ![Ring logo](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/hs-fs/hubfs/22%20(1).webp?width=144&height=90&name=22%20(1).webp) ![Multiskill logo](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1%20(1).webp?width=144&height=90&name=1%20(1).webp) ![Acasă Gold logo](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2%20(1).webp?width=144&height=90&name=2%20(1).webp) ![bTV Action logo](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/hs-fs/hubfs/4%20(1).webp?width=144&height=90&name=4%20(1).webp) ![RTL Crime logo](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/hs-fs/hubfs/24%20(1).webp?width=144&height=90&name=24%20(1).webp) ![Acasă logo](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/hs-fs/hubfs/3%20(1).webp?width=144&height=90&name=3%20(1).webp) ![bTV Comedy logo](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/hs-fs/hubfs/7%20(2).webp?width=144&height=90&name=7%20(2).webp) ![Dajto logo](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/hs-fs/hubfs/9%20(2).webp?width=144&height=90&name=9%20(2).webp) ![bTV Cinema logo](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/hs-fs/hubfs/6%20(2).webp?width=144&height=90&name=6%20(2).webp) ![Doma logo](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/hs-fs/hubfs/10%20(3).webp?width=144&height=90&name=10%20(3).webp) ![bTV Story logo](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/hs-fs/hubfs/8%20(3).webp?width=144&height=90&name=8%20(3).webp) ![RTL Passion logo](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/hs-fs/hubfs/28%20(1).webp?width=144&height=90&name=28%20(1).webp) ![bTV logo](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/hs-fs/hubfs/5%20(2).webp?width=144&height=90&name=5%20(2).webp) ![RTL 2 logo](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/hs-fs/hubfs/29%20(1).webp?width=144&height=90&name=29%20(1).webp) ![TN CZ logo](https://www.apexconfiguration.com/hs-fs/hubfs/30%20(1).webp?width=144&height=90&name=30%20(1).webp) ## Structured Delivery Process Structured approach.
