ITAM Validation
A validated picture of assets, lifecycles, and ownership.
Accurate Operational IT Data
Accurate configuration items & relationships.
FogLifter® validates your CMDB against operational reality — cross-referencing discovery, billing, asset management, service data drift, orphaned CIs, and broken relationships before they become audit findings.
Expected outcomes
What good looks like for teams adopting this solution.
Accurate CIs Configuration items validated against multiple independent sources
Relationship integrity Upstream and downstream dependencies mapped and maintained
Reduced CMDB cleanup cycles Continuous validation replaces periodic manual cleanup projects
Drift detection Configuration changes surfaced automatically between ingestion cycles
From problem to solution
Each FogLifter solution follows a decision-oriented path.
The problem
Every enterprise CMDB drifts. CIs are created but never retired. Relationships between servers, applications, and services break silently. Discovery tools disagree with what the CMDB says exists. Manual cleanup projects lose ground within months.
- CIs in the CMDB that no longer exist in the real environment.
- Missing or broken relationships between CIs.
- Discovery data that contradicts CMDB records.
How FogLifter addresses it
FogLifter continuously compares CMDB records against discovery, billing, and operational data — surfacing discrepancies in the Validation View where both parties (IT and the service provider) can reconcile with evidence.
- Continuous CI-level cross-validation against independent SORs.
- Relationship mapping verified against network, application, and service topology.
- Programmatic CMDB updates via ServiceNow® API where authorized.
