What is openDCIM? #
openDCIM is an open-source Data Center Infrastructure Management solution that provides asset tracking, monitoring of space, power, and cooling, and contact management.
Why Should You Use the openDCIM Connector? #
The openDCIM connector provides visibility into the assets in your environment. You can use this visibility to:
-
ensure assets are managed per your security policies
-
find vulnerabilities quickly and remediate
How Does This Connector Work? #
Lucidum executes read-only requests to the openDCIM REST API and ingests only meta-data about openDCIM assets. Lucidum does not retrieve any data stored on your assets.
