DCImanager stores data inside a MySQL database. The name of the database is "dcimgr". To provide the database integrity the foreign keys with different connectivity type are used: deleting the entries connected to the object alongside the object, prohibition of linked entries deletion. Tables with v_* prefix are the views. Tables can be divided into several types:

  • servers;
  • inventory;
  • equipment;
  • server types;
  • networks;
  • statistics;
  • service records.

Some tables and fields aren't described in the article because they are only used for internal purposes. Database structure might be changed with further control panel functionality extension.
