1. A system comprising:
a configuration management database for storing configuration items, each configuration item being associated with at least one attribute value of an entity, the entity belonging to a computer information system; a processor; instructions which, if executed, causes the processor to:
determine whether an attribute value is associated with each configuration item in a plurality of configuration items, the plurality of configuration items comprising a number of incoming configuration items and a number of stored configuration items stored in the configuration management database;if it is determined that the attribute value is associated with each configuration item in the plurality of configuration items, deem the attribute value a redundant attribute value; andin response to a determination that the attribute value is redundant and a sum of the number of incoming configuration items and the number of stored configuration items exceeds a predetermined threshold, flagging the redundant attribute value as an attribute value to be ignored.
