Identify missing or invalid CI details by creating data monitoring rules in the Automated Asset Assignment console
Create a regular schedule of data‑monitoring rules in the Automated Asset Assignment console by applying filtering criteria to identify inconsistent or incomplete CIs in asset management.
When a data monitoring rule is run, incorrect or invalid CIs due to manual entry errors, incomplete integration details, or a lack of consistent validation are listed. You can then investigate them further to correct them. Running data monitoring rules regularly helps reduce manual efforts, and you can check for missing or invalid CIs to maintain the health of the asset database.
When BMC HelixGPT is enabled for your organization, you can get insights about a monitoring rule, such as the results of the selected rule. BMC HelixGPT also provides a resolution recommendation to fix the issue by adding or rectifying the missing CI attributes. For more details, see Configuring Data monitoring rules by using CMDB Governor to detect quality issues.
Enable session timeout by using BMC Helix Single Sign-On
You can enable idle session timeout in the BMC Helix CMDB supports by using BMC Helix Single Sign-On (HSSO). When timeout settings are enabled, users receive a warning message before their session expires due to inactivity. They can choose to continue their session, or they are automatically redirected to the login page if no action is taken.
Idle timeout enhances security by decreasing the risk of unauthorized access to BMC applications. The session timeout applies only when the user is inactive across all applications integrated with HSSO; if the user is active in another Helix application, the CMDB session is extended automatically. For more information, see Enabling idle timeout for integrated BMC applications.
