Novel metadata relationships in a configuration management database

A system comprising:

• a user interface;
• a non-transitory memory;
• and
• one or more hardware processors configured to read instructions from the non-transitory memory to cause the system to:
• receive a plurality of items of metadata stored in a CMDB;
• determine a plurality of nodes, wherein each item in the plurality of items of metadata is associated with a respective node of the plurality of nodes;
• determine a plurality of edges, wherein each edge in the plurality of edges is associated with a relationship between two or more of the plurality of nodes, and wherein each relationship has a relationship type;
• and
• create a graph of the determined plurality of nodes and the determined plurality of edges.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• receiving a plurality of items of metadata stored in a CMDB;
• determining a plurality of nodes, wherein each item in the plurality of items of metadata is associated with a respective node of the plurality of nodes;
• determining a plurality of edges, wherein each edge in the plurality of edges is associated with a relationship between two or more of the plurality of nodes, and wherein each relationship has a relationship type;
• and
• creating a graph of the determined plurality of nodes and the determined plurality of edges.
