Ideal number of groups within a Perspective

Products

• CloudHealth

Issue/Introduction

The number of potential Groups in a Perspective varies widely across organizations.  Groups offer a powerful way to filter down into specific parts of your infrastructure in platform InterActive reports, policies, and optimization capabilities.  Be careful to not represent every unique attribute of your infrastructure as a Group name.  Typically, organizations tend to require fewer than 20 Groups per Perspective.

Resolution

By default, you can create a maximum of 400 Groups per Perspective in the platform. As the number of Groups grows, managing asset membership within Perspective Groups incurs a high computational and maintenance cost.
