Group configuration items (CIs) of the same type

Applies to User Roles:

System Administrator

You can group configuration items (CIs) of the same type from the Configuration Management module. Node grouping prevents performance issues by displaying CIs of the same type as a group in visualization diagrams that contain multiple related CIs.

To group CIs of the same type, follow these steps:

Click Configuration Management > Administration > Configure CI Visualization > Settings. The CI Node Grouping form opens.
In the When expanding a node, display a group when CIs of the same type exceed field, type a threshold value, which controls the number of CIs of the same type that trigger the formation of a CI group.
Log off and log back on to view your changes. HPE Service Manager visually represents CIs of the same type that exceed the new threshold as a grouped item.
