Explore Views Overview
The Explore Views module enables you to survey the current status of your IT environment in either the actual or authorized state. It also enables you to display a saved snapshot of a managed view in the actual or authorized state. You can view CI and policy information for the view and check if the view's policies are satisfied or in breach.
The CIs of the view are listed in the Composite CIs pane and a topology map of the view is displayed in the Topology pane. You can specify the layout of the topology map, including the option to organize the CIs in the map by layer or classification. Also note that only the composite CIs of the view appear in the topology map, however, you can drill down to the component CIs using the CI Details dialog box. This makes the topology map much simpler and easier to read.
The CIs for which policies are defined have icons indicating the CI's policy status. Details of any policy breaches of the view's CIs are displayed in the Policy Details pane.
Note You can only select views on which you have View or Authorize in CM permission.
