Hi Sriram,

There is no option or button found to Add a Topology Type to manage its instance count in the Stale Object Dashboard.

To add a Topology Type to manage its instance count on the Stale Objects Object Dashboard, add a scoped registry value with the intended Topology Type to the registry variable server.topology.objectExpiryDaysStale.

Performing this step, will have the intended topology type appear in the Management Server | Servers | Object Cleanup dashboard. This will also enable the new objects to be deleted during nightly maintenance operations.
