- A badge on a line indicates the number of relationships between the CIs.
Two CIs might be connected by one or more relationships (stored in the CI Relationship [cmdb_rel_ci] table). For example, two CIs might be connected by the Runs On::Runs, Depends On::Discovered From, and by the Owned By::Owns relationships.
You can learn more about relationships at CI relationships in the CMDB.
