Topology

Topology shows the connections between the nodes and their processes.

What you can view in topology

1. Topology in Different Views:

   • Host view
   • Application view

2. View process details, host details or application details by double clicking on any process, host or application in the topology.

To begin with topology

1. You can view the topology of discovered nodes . To view the better topology, first complete the discovery and analysis of processes and then go for topology, but you can view the topology for partially discovered nodes as well.
2. You can view the same topology in associated report as well. Please click here to know more about reports.

Go to topology

1. Open the Project which was previously added and click on Discover.

2. Click on the Topology Tab as shown in the image below.

• You can click on Legend to get information about the different shapes shown in the topology page and usage details.

Views of Topology

• You can view topology in two views

• Host view

  • The topology by the hosts in the Project that you have created with their associated processes. (please click here to know more about hosts)

• Application view

  • The topology by applications that you create and link to different processes.(Please click here to know more about applications)

Note: Prerequisite to view topology in the application view is you have application(s) created and linked them with processes.

Host View

View the topology by hosts present in a selected Project.

• By default you can see all the host(s).
• You can view specific host(s) also with help of provided filter.

Example: Above image has only 1 host in the Project and it has multiple processes associated with it.

Application View

View the topology by application(s) which you have created and linked with different processes.

• As mentioned in host view, by default you can view topology of all applications
• You can view specific application(s) also with help of provided filter.

Example: In the above image, topology is shown for the selected application qa-test2

Note:

• You can see only those processes which are linked to the selected application(s).

Apply Filters

• You can view topology with desired host(s)/ application(s) on host/application views respectively.
• You can select or deselect one or more options at a time. It will take few moments to load new topology.

Filter in Host view

Filter in Application view

• You can select All to select all host(s)/ application(s) in respective views.

Customize view in topology

• You can change the layout by clicking on Customize and selecting a different view/layout.

• An example image is shown below with a grid layout

View additional details

• You can view more information about processes, hosts and applications by double clicking on them.

Example: In above image, user has double clicked on launch.sh-sample.war .
