Represented information

Each network host is represented as a separate point on the map with the name. The point has the following structure:

  • external circle color depends on the current host status; 
  • internal circle color depends on the maximum severity among the unresolved events of the host;
  • in the center of the point there is the total number of unresolved events.

Host and link statuses link statuses information is updated in real-time.

Hosts clustering

For more convenient monitoring of a large number of hosts, the map performs their automatic joining into the cluster. The cluster is simply a visual object, it does not determine the logical hosts grouping. The more you are zoom out the map view the more number of hosts comes into one cluster, and on the contrary, the more you are zoom in the more number of hosts will be shown as a separate point. Clicking on a cluster will display a list of including hosts.
