    Summary of Tag Governance Dashboard – Overview Tab

    Accessing the Dashboard

    To use the dashboard, log in as a Tag Governance administrator or Tag Governance Viewer. Navigate to Tag Governance > Dashboard to access the Overview tab.

    Applying Filters

    The Health tab aggregates the tag health status for all CIs audited. Users can apply filters to refine reports, including:

    • Cloud Service Account
    • Logical Datacenter
    • CMDB Class (only applicable to the Tag Health report)

    These filters help users analyze tag audit results specific to their needs, such as viewing data for virtual machines linked to particular cloud service accounts within designated logical datacenters.

    Reports

    Tag audits evaluate all discovered resources in the CMDB CI table, with the Overview tab displaying key health and compliance metrics:

    • Health Pie Chart: Displays the percentage and count of CIs in compliance categories: Non Compliant, Partial Compliant, and Fully Compliant. Users can click on any category for detailed reports.
    • Most Popular Tags Bar Chart: Shows the ten most commonly used tags, along with their occurrence percentages. Selecting a bar reveals the list of CIs associated with that tag.
    • Least Used Tags Bar Chart: Highlights the ten least used tags, detailing their occurrence percentages. Users can select a bar to access the list of CIs with that tag.

    The Overview tab tracks the health and compliance of CIs based on tag audits. Interactive widgets provide information that enables you to view and analyze tag compliance status and the most-used and least-used tags.

    Accessing the dashboard

    Log in as a Tag Governance administrator (sn_itom_tag.tag_governance_admin) to configure reports and Tag Governance Viewer (sn_itom_tag.tag_reports_viewer) view the reports. To access the dashboard, navigate to Tag Governance > Dashboard.

    Applying filters

    The Health tab displays the cumulative status of the tag health of all CIs that the tag audits ran on. Each category indicates the percentage and the count of CIs with a matching status.

    By default, data is grouped by status. You can also group the results by using the filters in the Group By list.

    Use the following interactive filters to refine reports:
    • Cloud Service Account
    • Logical Datacenter
    • CMDB Class
      Note:
      The CMDB Class filter only applies to the Tag Health report. Using this filter does not impact or refine the results of the Most Popular Tags and the Least Used Tags reports.
    For example, you can use a combination of the Cloud Service Accounts, CMDB Class, and Logical Datacenter filters. You can then view the tag audit results for the virtual machine instances that are mapped to a specific cloud service account and are located in a specific logical datacenter.
