Clusto should be configured with disciplined object taxonomy and careful API access controls to keep inventory data reliable.
- database backend settings
- object/attribute naming standards
- API endpoint and auth policy
Example baseline:
CLUSTO_URL=https://clusto.example.com
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_NAME=clusto
DB_USER=clusto
DB_PASSWORD=replace-with-strong-password
¶ Taxonomy and relationship policy
- Define consistent classes for hosts, services, and hardware.
- Enforce parent/child relationship conventions.
- Review new custom attributes before rollout.
- Use service accounts with minimal write scopes.
- Keep import scripts idempotent.
- Log all inventory mutation jobs.
¶ Backup and recovery
Back up:
- database
- configuration and automation scripts
Recovery test:
- Restore DB and configuration.
- Validate object graph integrity.
- Run read/write API smoke tests.
- API latency and error rates monitored.
- Data consistency reports run regularly.
- Backup restore validated.
- Change controls for model updates documented.
