Common Diagnostic Model

Common Diagnostic Model

The Common Diagnostics Model, or CDM, is a diagnostics standard developed and maintained by the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF). CDM models the entire flow of diagnosis from test discovery, configuration and execution to progress updates and execution controls to finally viewing and managing the test results. It is based on the Common Information Model (CIM) and the Web-Based Enterprise Management standards defined by the DMTF.

CDM establishes an industry standard diagnostics interface enabling the seamless integration of diagnostic services into system management frameworks and is both platform and OS independent.
