Configure the Health Tree Widget
By default, the Health Tree widget includes all parent and child resources that match the selected resource.
You can edit the widget configuration to limit the parent and child resources that the widget shows.
You can also configure other widgets to provide a resource to the Health Tree widget. See “Configure
Widget Interactions,” on page 63.
Prerequisites

Procedure
1 Set Self Provider to On to define a resource in the widget configuration.
2 (Optional) To configure a fixed zoom level for resource icons in the widget display, set Auto Zoom To
Fixed Node Size to On and type an icon size, in pixels, in the Node Size (pixels) text box.
If your widget display contains many resources and you always need to use manual zooming, this
feature is particularly useful because it enables you to set the zoom level only once.
The widget shows resource icons at the pixel size that you configure. You can still click the Zoom to Fit
icon to change the size of the resource icons for the best possible fit in the widget. The fixed zoom level
feature is disabled by default.
3 Select the resource in the Resource Selection pane.
To find a specific resource, type all or part of the resource name in the Search text box and click the
right angle bracket (>).
The name of the resource that you select appears after Selected Resource.
4 (Optional) To limit the parent and child resources that the widget shows, select one or more tag values
in the Select which tags to filter pane.
You can use icons on the toolbar at the top of the pane to collapse, expand, and deselect all of the tags in
the list
When you select more than one value for the same tag, the widget shows resources that have either
value. When you select values for two or more tags, the widget shows only resources that have all of
the values that you select. When you click the Invert Result icon, the widget shows only resources that
do not match the tag values that you select.
5 Click OK to save the widget configuration.
6 (Optional) To verify the filtering settings that you configured for the widget, click the Display Filtering
Criteria icon on the widget's toolbar.
The filtering settings appear in a pop-up window.
