The CIM Assessment Toolkit (CAT) measures and validates Common Information Model (CIM) compliance across your Splunk data models at the data model + dataset level. CAT scores field-mapping quality, data quality, and prescribed-value compliance; surfaces unmapped sourcetypes and impact-ranked remediation priorities; monitors data model acceleration health; and generates professional Word-document reports with optional scheduled email delivery. A new feature is four TA Inventory tables which reveal what TAs cover which sourcetypes for CIM normalization and their versions - essential information for maintaining CIM normalization coverage. To reduce CIM Assessment Report length, detailed field gaps, mapped & unmapped sourcetypes, and installed Splunk apps lists are attached as CSVs (CIM_Field_Gaps_*, CIM_Mapped_Sourcetypes_*, Splunk_Installed_Apps_*) to the report email.
