Using the Topology Map

Overview​

The Topology screen in Motadata AIOps provides powerful functionalities to analyze and gain valuable insights from your infrastructure. With organized topologies based on infrastructure, visual representation of topology maps, color-coded monitor nodes to indicate alerts, and drill-down capabilities on monitors, this screen empowers you to optimize network performance, address issues efficiently, and ensure seamless operations.

Organized Topologies Based on Infrastructure​

The Topology screen provides a structured way of organizing topologies based on different infrastructure types. Whether it's network infrastructure, cloud services, or virtual devices, you can easily navigate through the menu to access the specific topology maps you need for analysis. This intuitive organization ensures a efficient process of accessing and exploring the relevant topology maps.

Visualize and Analyze Topology Maps​

With the Topology screen, you can conveniently view and analyze the topology maps created for your infrastructure. These maps visually represent the relationships and interconnections between various components, giving you a comprehensive understanding of your network layout. By examining the topology maps, you can make informed decisions to optimize your network performance.

Color-Coded Monitors to indicate alerts for Quick Identification​

Topology maps on the screen have color-coded monitor nodes to indicate the highest severity alert associated with each monitor. This allows you to quickly identify critical issues that require immediate attention. The color-coded monitor nodes provide an at-a-glance overview of the overall health of your network infrastructure, enabling you to prioritize and address the most impactful issues promptly.

Drill Down for Detailed Monitor Information​

The Topology screen enables you to drill down into each monitor on the map to access detailed information. By clicking on a specific monitor, you can view comprehensive details about its status, performance metrics, and associated alerts. This feature empowers you to investigate and troubleshoot issues efficiently, gaining deeper insights into the health and performance of your network components.

Search Specific Monitors​

Search for a monitor in the search bar above the screen to bring it into focus. This allows you to highlight and examine its parent and child relationships within the topology. The search functionality in the Topology screen enables you to quickly locate a specific monitor or device of interest. When you find and select a monitor, the topology map adjusts to emphasize the connections and dependencies associated with that particular monitor.

By using the search feature, you can gain a deeper understanding of how the selected monitor is interconnected with other devices in your network. This helps you analyze the hierarchical relationships and visualize the impact of the monitor on its parent and child components. Whether you're investigating a specific issue or exploring the overall network structure, the ability to search for and focus on a monitor provides valuable insights and facilitates comprehensive network analysis.

Controlling Layer 3 Device Visibility​

In the Topology screen of Motadata AIOps, you have the flexibility to control the visibility of Layer 3 devices through a convenient switch. This feature empowers you to decide whether you want to view Layer 3 devices on the network topology map or not, based on your specific analysis requirements.

Toogle the switch Layer 3 to ON present above the topology screen to view the layer 3 devices.

Viewing Maps in Two Perspectives: Tree View and Full View​

Motadata AIOps offers users the ability to view topology maps in two distinct perspectives: the Tree View and the Full View. These views provide valuable insights into your infrastructure's components and their parent-child relationships. By understanding these relationships, users can effectively analyze the interconnectedness of their infrastructure and make informed decisions regarding performance optimization and issue resolution.

Tree View​

The Tree View in Motadata AIOps represents the parent-child relationships between components in your infrastructure in the form of a hierarchical tree structure. This view visually organizes your infrastructure, showcasing how different components are connected to each other. Each component is represented as a node in the tree, with parent components located above and child components below. This intuitive representation helps users comprehend the flow of data and dependencies within their infrastructure. By navigating the tree, users can easily identify the relationships between components and detect potential bottlenecks or vulnerabilities.

Full View​

The Full View in Motadata AIOps provides a comprehensive representation of your infrastructure's topology as it is scanned. This view presents the entire infrastructure, including all components and their connections, in a single, unified visual layout. With the Full View, users can observe the complete picture of their infrastructure, enabling them to identify critical components, analyze dependencies, and gain insights into the overall health and performance of their environment. This holistic perspective helps users identify potential points of failure, optimize resource allocation, and ensure efficient functioning of their infrastructure.

Choosing the Appropriate View​

Both the Tree View and the Full View have unique advantages and are valuable in different scenarios. The Tree View is particularly useful when you want to focus on specific components or analyze parent-child relationships within your infrastructure. On the other hand, the Full View is ideal for obtaining a high-level understanding of your entire infrastructure's topology and gaining insights into the overall system architecture.

Motadata AIOps empowers users to explore their infrastructure's topology maps through the Tree View and the Full View. These perspectives provide valuable visualizations of component relationships, aiding in troubleshooting, optimization, and decision-making. Whether you need to delve into specific parent-child relationships or gain a comprehensive overview of your infrastructure, the Tree View and the Full View in Motadata AIOps offer the flexibility and insights you require.
