The CMDB is not the network
Configuration databases depend on processes, integrations and people. Records can become stale even when the underlying system is well designed.
Discovery finds the opposite problem too
A system can exist in the CMDB but no longer be reachable. That may indicate decommissioning, network change or simply that the scan did not have the right path.
Reconciliation is more useful than blame
The goal is to identify differences, assign ownership and update either the network or the inventory record.
Auditor can make the comparison explicit
Scantide Auditor includes ServiceNow/CMDB-style comparison so discovered assets and known inventory can be reviewed together.
