Modifying the CMDB Health Dashboard to hide Compliance

[Maurice Murphy]

Our organization is currently rolling out CMDB and Discovery, and Compliance is not something we are currently using at this time. However, the CMDB Health Dashboard shows Compliance at 100% due to a lack of compliance rules, and while we have hidden the overall Compliance Scorecard, the general "CMDB Health Scorecard" still shows Compliance at 100%. There is a concern that this is going to cause confusion and will require explaining multiple times that we're not actually utilizing Compliance for this phase of our rollout.

I've tried poking around at the different CMDB Widgets in a development instance to try and comment out or remove any instance of the Compliance Scorecard in the health dashboard, but no luck. Is there a way to hide and/or grey out the Compliance score on the CMDB Health Scorecard widget on the CMDB Health Dashboard?

Hi,

You can disable it but it will still be visible on the dashboard but greyed out.

• Go to Configuration -> Health Preferences
• Select Health Metrics
• Select Compliance in the drop down
• Toggle to inactive

You also need to adjust the weight for Overall metric so that it make up 100 using just Completness and Correctness. 

Regards,
Niklas

Very much appreciated and exactly what I was looking for! I was told I would need to modify the JS or HTML of the Widget itself to grey it out, but glad that's not the case!

It seems that in Vancouver "Configuration -> Health Preferences" does not exist. I went to the table cmdb_health_metric_pref and set Active to false. Worked just the same.

Thanks for the tip.

I've noticed this recently as well. Looks like they're moving away from those preferences, or at least are trying to hide them? Thanks for the note as far as the direct table access.
