Network map allows to visually determine the hosts connectivity and to get necessary information about hosts and links status and their active events.
There are two possible logical (topology) and geographical (map) views that can be represented with the button on the right top corner.

The logical view is based on logical connections between hosts, the geographical on the actual hosts coordinates
Notification with the list of hosts that are not indicated on the geographical map displays when you open the map view. In order to view them you need to enter hosts coordinates via web-interface in the section "Settings" → "SNMP" (InfiLINK XG), "Basic Settings" → "SNMP" (InfiNet Wireless R5000).

Map Geographical view works with Google Maps API. In order to get the correct geographical map operation go to the section "Settings" → "System" and enter the key in the field "API key". The key can be obtained on the website https://console.developers.google.com → "Google Maps Geolocation API". Center |

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.
