13.12. Topology Builder Job

Topology builder job scraps the earlier topology diagram and creates a new one. This is useful when monitors in network are added/removed in random fashion. The topology diagram created by the job is out of any region/node (See Topology menu for details). However, if any monitor is already assigned to a region/node, the new diagram will not affect it.
