The Dependency map illustrates how and why alerts are grouped, simplifying troubleshooting and issue management. It reveals connections between CIs within a CMDB alert group, enhancing visibility into their relationships. Additionally, if a CI is not part of the group but connects to other alert CIs, it remains visible on the map, aiding alert
resolution and proactive management.

## Before you begin

Role required: evt_mgmt_user, evt_mgmt_operator

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllEvent ManagementAll Alerts.
2. Search for the CMDB group.
3. Open a CMDB group alert.
4. Scroll down and select the Activities tab.

   Alert2405199 and Alert2405219 were grouped together because of CI relationships. Open Dependency Map for CMDB Group Alerts. Open Dependency Map for CMDB Group Alerts.
