I'm afraid no has taken over the project, If I remember correctly I licensed it under the Apache Software License. As for feature list, I suggest you have a look at some of the last posts tagged with Rails-CMDB. In fact there seems to some tar balls still online (here), however can't say anything about them really being the files that I had uploaded to ruby forge. All the best if you give go.

Did anyone ever pick up where you left off? What license were you using? I am interested in a feature list for sure…

Thanks Cody,

Very cool… This would be a great stock photo. I don’t know what the ad would be, but it offers a great place for copy. Thanks for sharing!

Comment on Adding support for Services to Rails-CMDB by Gordon Irish

I just completed my ITIL bridge to V3 course last week. I’ve also been playing around with Rails lately and I thought it would be interesting to build a service catalog or CMDB in Rails. Happily I found instead that you’ve already done it

I have downloaded version 0.5 and have it running on WinXP and Ubuntu 8.0.4. To keep it simple I’m using Sqlite3 for the database. The only issue I found was that rake db:migrate wouldn’t work to create the database initially. Using rake db:schema:load worked just fine though.

Right now I am most interested in the service catalog just as you are talking about adding services to CMDB in this post. The service catalog concept is new to me and I haven’t really figured out what should be in it yet. The ITIL V3 bridge course really didn’t have much detail on it. I’m looking for some more in depth info on it.

I know this is almost a year later but I just stumbled on to your site after looking for “Open Source Configuration management database” in google.

I’m getting ready to look at Zenoss and was wondering if you may have see something about it?
