Explore component graph
Explore component graph.
Who can do this: Tenant administrator, Operator
Before you start
- Use an account with access to the stated page and permission for the chosen action.
Safeguards
- A visualization is only as complete as the underlying relationships; empty graphs usually indicate missing links, filters, or unavailable permissions.
- Relationship categories such as hierarchical, service, responsibility, technical, and structural can be toggled to reduce clutter.
- Moving or adding components may update operational CMDB relationships, so users should understand the intended location or dependency before saving.
- Access-group links come from recorded relationships; do not infer permission from a graph alone.
- Open Assets → Visual Inspection → Components.
- Search for the component, building, floor, room, or other object to inspect.
- Use filters to include the relationship categories relevant to the question.
- Navigate from one node or location level to another to follow dependencies or placement.
- Inspect missing expected relationships as possible CMDB data quality gaps.
- When supported, add or move components from the visualizer only after confirming the intended structure.
Expected outcome: The user has reviewed the result of explore component graph in the application.
