Configuration Item Relationships and Service Graphs in CMDB
A configuration item (CI) relationship defines how assets in your Configuration
Management Database (CMDB) interact with each other. The service graph visualizes the
relationships to show how systems are connected and where dependencies exist. Together, they
help you monitor infrastructure health, analyze impact, and troubleshoot issues faster by
understanding how assets work together across your IT landscape.

Visualize Configuration Item Relationships with Service Graph Use Service graph to view how a Configuration Item (CI) connects to other assets across your IT landscape. The visual map helps teams assess impact, identify dependencies, and troubleshoot issues faster.
