Hello Pranita,

CMDB GROUPS - 

A CMDB group is a collection of CIs that lets you apply CI actions collectively to all the CIs that are members in the group.

An example of usage can be if you only want to view CMDB health results for Linux servers whose name starts with "test".

In this case, you will create a health group and add conditions in "CMDB  Group Encoded Queries" for a name that starts with "test" for class cmdb_ci_linux_server. Once health jobs are finished you can go to the CMDB View and choose the CMDB Dashboard Group view from the drop-down and select a particular group to view the health results. 

Please refer to this doc to understand more about the CMDB groups.
