What metrics measure 'Completeness' in the CMDB Health Dashboard?

Completeness in the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) Health Dashboard primarily focuses on the presence of required information within configuration items (CIs). The metric for 'Completeness' is centered around the "Required Fields," which are essential data attributes that must be populated to consider a CI fully defined.

In the context of CMDB health, required fields are critical because they ensure that all necessary information is available for effective management of the CIs. Metrics related to required fields provide insights into how many of these essential fields are populated versus those that are missing, allowing organizations to assess the overall quality and readiness of their CMDB data.

While aspects like duplicate entries and audit filters contribute to the overall integrity and quality of the CMDB, they do not specifically measure the completeness of data concerning the essential fields that must be filled out. Understanding which fields are required helps maintain a robust configuration management process, leading to better decision-making and operational efficiency.
