Topology Compaction

Service Analytics supports Topology Compaction which enables you to compress several hosts under one common host or entity. Topology Compaction helps you reduce the data redundancy and view additional components in the same view. The Topology process is performed using various details such as Hostname, IP address, MAC address, and so on. For example, you have a parent service created with three sub-services. Each of the sub-services is created with different dimensions.
Let's consider the VMs sub-service which is created from a single UIM Group and the other sub-service from APM's Kubernetes. If you click on the Topology icon of the sub-service and remove all the filters. You can see three devices which are Hosts. You can use the drop-down option on the sub-service to expand and view all the associated nodes or devices that come under this sub-service. You can use the collapse option on the sub-service to collapse all the details and return to the original view.
