Attribute value limitations

If an attribute has more than 400 values and is assigned to an object, they are displayed as one value and labelled Aggregated for <n> values. This is applicable for:

  • The Host Overview report

  • A value displayed in a grid column for the attribute

  • The Inventory Hierarchy will show as a single group with the label as the count value

Best practice is to limit attribute values to 50 total. Contact Cohesity Support for additional information.

To set up a custom hierarchy view

  1. Click Inventory.
  2. Click the Configure icon.
  3. Select a top-level category from the Level 1 drop down. This is a required selection. For multi-tenancy environments, such as MSPs, the first selection could be Domain. You can select up to three custom levels, but are only required to choose one.

    Not all selection combinations are valid. Invalid combinations may result in duplicate folder names or inaccessible folder structures.

    See Selection combinations.

  4. Select the Inventory Objects you'd like to display. You can also choose to hide decommissioned hosts.

    Note:

    Click the Default Hierarchy icon to return to the initial Inventory Object Type > Subsystem vendor hierarchy.

  5. Click Apply when you complete all selections.
