Add Node
The Add Node button allows you to add an individual Node to the Map.You may assign a Display Name, separate from the Node's internal name, or leave this field blank and no label will be displayed. A specific icon may also be assigned, or will be auto selected form the built-in icon options based on the type of equipment.
If set, the Link to Map option will open a new Dashboard rather than opening the Node detail window when the icon is clicked. This is especially powerful - allowing you to drill down from a top-level abstract diagram to more in-depth levels of detail.
Once the node is added it may be moved around the Map by left-clicking and dragging it to position.
...
The Add Group button allows you to add an icon representing a Group icon of Nodes to the Map. When clicked this will display the averaged health of all Nodes within the Group.
...
The Add Interface Link button allows you to add an interactive Link representing a interface's flow traffic between 2 Node or Group icons. Select your Link Source, the Node providing the Interface, the specific Interface that handles the link, and the Link Destination.
The resulting link will be anchored to the 2 Nodes/Groups and display both the inbound and outbound link speeds as a percentage of the available interface speed. The link is also hinged in the middle, allowing some modicum of adjustment for background artwork and readability.
Add Placeholder
