The data streams in the CMDB data kit allow you to sync configuration item data to Data Cloud to prepare the data for analysis, build reports, and apply transformations. The data model objects available are Configuration Item, Configuration Item Relationship, Configuration Item Attribute, Configuration Item Attribute Value, and Configuration Item Type Definition. - **[Monitor Enterprise CI Usage with CMDB Enterprise and Digital Wallet](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_it_srvcs_cmdb_digital_wallet.htm&release=260&type=5)** Track Enterprise configuration item (CI) usage with the CMDB Enterprise add-on.
