If you configure a filter tag for the Health Tree widget, only the parent and child resources that match the
tag appear in the widget. You can double-click a resource to turn off the filter and show all of its parents and
children.
The toolbar at the top of the Health Tree widget contains icons that you can use to change the view.

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 61.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that you have the necessary access rights to perform this task. Your vCenter Operations Manager
administrator can tell you which actions you can perform.
n
Open the Edit Widget window for the Health Tree widget. See “Edit a Widget Configuration,” on
page 54.
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.
