Network Monitoring Map (Update 22.10.2)
Maps within network monitoring systems serve as more than static illustrations. They are dynamic representations of the network’s health and performance. They provide a comprehensive overview of the IT infrastructure, enabling administrators to swiftly identify issues, monitor performance indicators, and optimize resource utilization.
i-Vertix IT Monitoring offers three main types of maps:
Graphical (Normal) Map
The graphical map provides users with the flexibility to upload custom images, such as campus layouts, building floor plans, rack configurations, or even network diagrams created in Visio. These images serve as the backdrop against which monitored hosts and their services are placed.
Geographical Map
Geographical maps provide a dynamic representation of monitored hosts based on their physical location. Integrated via APIs with services such as www.openstreetmap.org. These maps offer a global perspective, ideal for viewing geographically dispersed networks. Geolocation technology ensures accurate placement of hosts on the map, enhancing spatial awareness for administrators.
Automap
Automaps streamline the visualization of connectivity relations among monitored devices. By configuring parent-child relations in the host settings, users can automatically generate maps that illustrate the network topology.
What's New in i-Vertix network Monitoring Map?
1- Service Status on Host Icon
Visualize your network’s health like never before with our new feature! Each host on the dashboard is represented by a unique icon, and now, the appearance of the host icon dynamically reflects the most critical status of its associated services. For instance, if one service encounters a critical issue while others remain operational, the host icon will prominently display this critical status, alerting you to the need for immediate attention.
2- Map-in-Map
Another improved functionality that allows users to create markers grouping multiple maps on a geographic map. With this enhancement, we’ve refined the appearance of markers placed on the map. The icons are carefully designed to maintain excellent visibility at various zoom levels. This improvement ensures that users can easily identify and interact with markers, facilitating smooth navigation and effortless monitoring of network assets.
3- Set acknowledgement and downtime
Acknowledging Hosts
When viewing a map interface that displays the status of hosts and services, users can interact with the map by clicking on hosts that are experiencing issues. This interaction might trigger a context menu or a popover that allows the user to acknowledge the problem directly from the map interface. This acknowledgment action could be logged and visible to other users or administrators of the system.
Setting Downtime
Similarly, users could set downtime for hosts or services directly from the map interface. This may involve selecting the hosts or services, specifying the duration of downtime, and possibly providing a reason or note for reference. Once again, this action would be logged and reflected in the monitoring system’s records.
