More details

Automation from the CMDB

With the Event add-on you enhance your CMDB triggering automation. Combined with the API add-on you have endless possibilities to run your data center more efficiently and a bit more savely.

Speed and Security for Your IT Processes

With the i-doit Add-on Events, you can enhance your CMDB by triggering automation. Combined with the i-doit add-on API, this opens up endless possibilities to make your data center operations more efficient and secure.

The i-doit Add-on Events leverages CMDB data to accelerate processes and enhance security. Many daily IT operations follow recurring workflows but depend on up-to-date data. As the central repository for IT documentation, the i-doit CMDB holds this information, making it the ideal trigger for automation. Whenever data records are created or modified, automation can seamlessly initiate the next steps.

For DevOps, fast and secure execution is critical. Configuration changes and server rollouts require multiple adjustments and documentation. By developing a runbook and automating these tasks, organizations achieve consistency, reduce security risks, and improve quality—especially in high-change environments.

The CMDB can also serve as a front-end for automation. Many IT organizations enforce strict role-based access, limiting administrative tools to select users. To prevent bottlenecks, i-doit CMDB automation enables standard tasks to run automatically, freeing experts to focus on complex cases.
