UCMDB is a software product from
Configuration Management Database of information technology
items. It includes a mechanism for automated discovery of IT infrastructure components, such as computers and network devices.
UCMDB is included in several
processes.DDMA
The DDMa component (Discovery and Dependency mapping Advanced) of UCMDB works by scanning ranges of
TCP ports, and IP address harvesting techniques by querying ARP/Cache tables of level 3 network devices. Resulting current IP addresses are then translated into CIs
which function as input for deeper level discovery. The pyramid model is designed to ensure that only relevant sources are being queried, resulting in lower network and node load.
