Understand how configuration items (CIs) interact and depend on each other by creating
relationships. Use the Relationships tab in a CI record to define source or target relationships.
Mapping these connections helps your teams understand system dependencies, assess impact, and
troubleshoot issues faster.

To create relationships between configuration items:
IT Service Configuration Item Owner
A source relationship indicates that the current CI connects to or depends on another CI. For
example, a Linux server that depends on a storage device has a source relationship with that
device.
A target relationship indicates that another CI depends on the current CI. For example, a load
balancer that routes traffic to a web server creates a target relationship with that server.
From the App Launcher, find and select CMDB and Service Graph.
Select Configuration Items.
Go to All Configuration Items or My Configuration
Items, and select the CI that you want to add a relationship to.
On the CI record page, go to the Relationships tab.
