Drupal as a Configuration Management Database (CMDB)

simon — Thu, 14/08/2008 - 11:15am

I recently gave a presentation at the "Drupal for Enterprise" seminar at Sun's offices in London. The presentation was based on my my work developing a CMDB to manage the inter-relationships between IT systems and their components. This helps us report on problems at a much higher level than before. Now managers know there's a problem with trading app "A", and not just host such-and-such.

The site makes heavy use of actions, triggers, scheduling and relationships. I wrote the actions scheduler as a trigger type, and also wrote a new relationship API and interface. Views and CCK are also used throughout. The site was developed for Drupal 6.

The presentation seemed quite well received and I had loads of questions about it!
