Create or update a treemap category

You can modify the predefined categories for the security incident treemaps or create categories as needed.

Before you begin

Role required: sn_si.admin

The treemaps use performance analytics as the data source. The Performance Analytics module requires a separate plugin.

About this task

In the base system, treemap categories such as Incident Risk, Denial of Service, and Incident Severity are included. You can modify these categories or define more categories as needed.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to All > Security Incident > Administration, and open the treemap definition you want to configure categories for:

    • Service Criticality Reporting Definition
    • Real-time Definition
    • Change the treemap definition name.

    In the base system, the default name for the service impact treemap definition is Security Incident. The default name for the real-time treemap definition is Security Incident - Real time.

  2. Unless you are using a custom-built treemap, do not change the PA Indicator Group value.

  3. To deactivate the treemap definition, clear the Active check box.

    If, for example, you deactivate the Denial of Service category from the system impact dashboard, that treemap category is not available.

  4. In the Treemap Categories related list, select a category to modify or click New to create a new category.

  5. Fill in the fields.
