Interested in a quick pick me up for performance and user experience within TBSM?
Consider this. The default Relationships View that is a core component of most TBSM deployments shows by default one level up and three levels down from the selected service instance. More often than not, the three levels down brings in a lot of child service instances in environments of any size. This results in longer model loading times and microscopic service models that force the use of zooming in to see what the model contains. Not an ideal user experience!
I think that this is one too many levels down and recommend that you change the defaults from three levels to two levels down. Take a look at this support tech note on how to change the defaults.
Give it a try and speak to your end users to see what they think!!!

- Open source management community launches – “This is the first attempt to really create a neighborhood for all these projects to be represented in that is truly neutral. There is no one tool that fits every environment, and IT administrators can share success stories and experiences with the various projects to find which works best for their needs,” says Tara Spalding, vice president of marketing at GroundWork.
MonitoringForge.org is collaborating with SourceForge.net to deliver a niche community focused on monitoring, and organizers explain the site is not a replacement for other open source communities, but rather an environment for IT administrators to target their search for open source management projects and plugins. Industry watchers say the site could flourish and become a valuable resource for the monitoring community.
- HP tracking upswing in business service management interest – HP is seeing growing interest in Latin America for business service management (BSM) solutions, the company's senior manager for software and solutions, Stephen Smith, told BNamericas.
Whereas Brazil and Mexico have traditionally represented BSM drivers, countries such as Costa Rica, Argentina, Chile and Peru are starting to show more interest. Smith said HP has been stepping up efforts to market BSM software, which is designed to improve the efficiency of IT operations.
