Tracked configuration files are files that contain settings and parameters of certain applications or

devices that Discovery can find and add to the CMDB. Some of the benefits of tracked configuration

files are:

Content version comparison: You can compare the content of different versions of the same

configuration file and see the changes that occurred over time. This can help you troubleshoot

issues, audit changes, and restore previous configurations if needed.

Files tracked as CIs: You can view the configuration files as configuration items (CIs) in the CMDB and

see their relationships with other CIs, such as the applications or devices they belong to. This can

help you understand the dependencies and impact of the configuration files on your IT environment.
