Issue/Introduction

Your implementation has many applications that are composed of many components, which are distributed across many servers. As a result, your map has several hundreds of nodes (>700).
Using the default perspectives, the navigation is very slow, difficult and the nodes are not aggregated as you expect.
Also the UI continuous refreshes affect visibility and the overall performance of the Enterprise Manager.

You are looking for options about how to create better perspectives. For example, you need a perspective that aggregates the map based on Hostname, Agent Name and resource Type
 

 

Environment
