CMDB and Change Management

AccelOps delivers a fully automated and comprehensive CMDB – discovering, intelligently grouping and maintaining a smart inventory of network assets, software, patches, users and directory objects.

And it builds all this directly from your infrastructure and trusted sources without requiring agents.

Powerful Inventory Management

AccelOps delivers rapid discovery and continuous monitoring of your network to yield accurate insights and current views of your infrastructure. AccelOps’ integrated asset management functionality dynamically populates the CMDB, automates topology mapping and management reporting, presents asset details and operational status on-demand, and facilitates compliance and policy governance. Network inventory is accomplished without requiring agents, and fully supports virtual environments.

CMDB

CMDB Features

AccelOps discovers, records, monitors, and reports on all your network assets, both physical and virtual. Our solution allows organizations to quickly and easily:

  • Track hardware and software assets
  • Understand what software is installed and what is running
  • Analyze system utilization by application and respective processes
  • Associate asset allocation with users, groups and services
  • Monitor network application use and resource consumption by user or group
  • Track blacklist or whitelist applications
  • Assess and integrate patch deployment and vulnerability issues
  • Identify shelfware and license reduction opportunities
  • Plan capacity and migration options for consolidation projects
  • Prepare for audits
CMDB

Automatic Discovery and Intelligent Grouping

Network inventory covers various kind of nodes such as:

  • Network devices (eg. switches and routers)
  • Security devices (e.g. firewalls, VPNs and IDSs)
  • Servers (eg. Windows, Unix, Netware)
  • Virtual Machines (eg. VMWare, Hyper-V)
  • Connected devices (eg. Printers)
  • User applications (eg. web server, DB server)
  • Infrastructure Applications (eg: DNS, DHCP servers)
  • User and associated groups from LDAP
  • Business Service and associated components

Rather than using a manual approach or employing more isolated inventory systems, the AccelOps network inventory automates the capturing of hardware and software inventories, and resource utilization – as well as continuously monitoring for changes. AccelOps’ intuitive web GUI enables users to define IPs and IP ranges to discover and subsequently monitor their infrastructure. Wizards facilitate the discovery and maintenance process.

Device Inventory

AccelOps monitors the configuration and operational states maintained within the integrated CMDB. The solution continuously monitors, trends and alerts on key performance indicators regarding:

Installed Software
  • Hardware (processes, modules)
  • Installed software
  • Installed patches
  • Running applications
  • Windows services
  • Process status
  • Start-up and running configuration from network devices
  • Open ports and service changes
  • Network interface utilization and send/receive statistics
  • Network interface packet error statistics
  • Installed Software

    Real-time Device health with Trends

    • Availability status (uptime, ping response time)
    • Uptime percentage over a period
    • Syslog event feed rate and status
    • CPU utilization and utilization of specific applications
    • Physical and Virtual Memory Utilization
    • Local disk space utilization and trends
    • Interface utilization (in and out)
    • Interface error percentage (in and out)
    • Incident summary for the last 24 hrs for security, availability and incidents

    Installed Software

    Change Management Features

    As a part of Change Management, AccelOps detects the following scenarios:

    • Monitors network device configurations for startup configuration change and difference between startup and running configuration
    • Monitors installed software differences for new software installations and existing software uninstalls
    • Monitors active directory user/group membership changes
    • Stores versioned configuration in database
    • Alerts on configuration changes, tied together with admin IP and workstation
    • Alerts on unauthorized changes
    • Reports on configuration change history, optionally by business service

    Running and Startup Configuration

    As a part of change management, AccelOps discovery module discovers the “start-up” and “running configuration” from the network devices such as routers, firewalls and switches over a historical period. It intelligently detects the difference between the startup configuration and running configuration and differences between various starup configurations over a long period of time.

    Whenever a change is detected, it creates a incident and notifies the administrator about the change. With this intelligence, the administrator can keep track of the changes done which are unauthorized configuration changes to their core network devices. The administrator can look at the configuration of any historical time interval, by selecting the revision of that configuration.

    Configuration Diff

    It is also possible to view the versioned configuration at any time, and is possible to search for specific keywords in the configuration. Using an intuitive UI, the administrator can also diff between any version of the running configuration. With this feature, it’s very easy to detect changes and to pinpoint each specific change in the configuration.
