Network Map

Traverse > Monitoring > Network Map

The Network Map displays a graphical representation of network topology and the devices in your network that are being monitored, including the status of the devices and the dependency relationships between them.

This view offers four different topology layouts, flexible display filters, pan and zoom functionality, the ability to configure and save custom views, and the ability to add or remove device dependencies. From this view you can drill down and work with the specific device and the tests provisioned on that device.

To view the Network Map

The Network Map displays the devices in the selected organization.

1. Click Monitoring > Network Map and select an organization from the Current Organization drop-down list.

Device Information

Each device is represented by an icon that displays the name of the device. The color of the halo around the icon represents the status of the device.

Working with dependencies

Dependencies are provided to suppress alerts in child devices when their parent device encounters an alert condition.

When one device depends on another, a line connects the parent and child devices in the Network map, with the corkscrew end of the line leading to the child.

Dependencies are created in two ways:

• When a discovery scan automatically detects a dependency between devices.
• Manually. You can create or edit device dependencies within Network Map.

To edit Device Dependencies

Click the icon in Network Map to manually change dependencies in a topology.

• Add Dependencies - In edit mode, click and drag a new dependency link from the parent device to the child device.
• Edit Dependencies - Click the icon to save any changes.
• Delete Dependencies - In edit mode, click the icon of a dependency link.

Once devices are linked by dependencies, you can expand or collapse a hierarchy by clicking the or icon next to a parent node.

Device Overview tab

Click the name of a device to open the Device Overview for that device. Properties displayed include:

• Device Name
• IP Address/Host Name
• Device/OS Vendor (if available)
• Device/OS Model/Version (if available)
• Location
• In addition, selected metrics for that device

Tests tab

This tab lists the Tests provisioned for that device. Click any test to display the Chart View tab for that test on the Monitoring > Device Health page.

Device Context-Sensitive Options

When the Device Overview displays, you can click the options icon to access context-sensitive options.

View Device Detail - Open Device Summary page.

Edit Device Settings - Redirect you to Traverse main page.

Configuring Panorama Views

You can pan around the Network Map by clicking on the background and dragging it. Click icon at the top of the page to print the currently displayed view.

Use the button bar on the left side of the Network Map to configure the view. The label for each button displays when you hover the mouse cursor over it.
