Customize Dashboards with an Open‑Source CMDB: 5 Chart Types & Multi‑Model Stats

CMDB is a collection of operational resources; beyond easy resource lookup, aggregated statistics are a common need. Because operational scenarios vary, an open‑source CMDB that supports personalized customization is essential.

1. Diverse Chart Types

The open‑source CMDB supports five chart types: metrics, bar charts, line charts, pie charts, and tables. It also allows displaying icons, quick color selection, bar chart direction configuration, overlay types, and background color settings for metrics. Users can configure their own large‑screen dashboard displays.

2. Multi‑Model Multi‑Dimensional Statistics

Multiple models can be linked for joint statistics, such as counting total machines across physical, virtual, and cloud hosts. Hierarchical statistics are possible, e.g., first by IDC, then by environment within each IDC. Statistics can also be performed across models sharing common attributes.

3. CI‑Related Statistics

Users can select related models for statistics, such as Business Unit → Product → Application → Physical Machine, enabling display of statistics that connect business units with physical hosts.

4. Data Filtering

When counting metrics, users can filter instance data first, e.g., only count machines that are online by adding a filter condition "status = online". Data filtering works for all chart types and can be applied to shared fields when multiple models are selected.
