Common Diagnostic Model (CDM)

The DMTF's CDM Forum is dedicated to uniting the computer industry on a single interoperable interface to all system diagnostics.

The Common Diagnostic Model (CDM) specification is widely used within the industry to evaluate the health of hardware systems in multi-vendor environments. The CDM Forum continues to extend these capabilities by helping deliver additional compatibility in cross-platform system diagnostics.

CDM creates diagnostic instrumentation that can be utilized by platform management applications, and its tight synergy with the other models in the DMTF’s Common Information Model (CIM) enabling further integration of diagnostics into critical management functions. By developing the CDM Conformance Program, the CDM Forum provides a new level of interoperability validation to help drive adoption.

CDM Conformance

The CDM Conformance Test Suite (CTS) software is available to IT vendors developing diagnostics within the DMTF DSP 1002 Profile Specification 1.0.  Click here to learn more about the CDM Conformance Test Suite.
