Viewing network maps

Existing Network Maps can be accessed from the Monitor > Network Maps page (where they can also be edited) or viewed in Dashboards.

Network Maps page

To open an existing Network Map, select the map from the tree/explorer view of the Network Maps page.

Note

If a default map has not been set, the main maps page will display all available maps in tiled or list format.

Maps/groups that have been included in other maps can also be accessed by expanding their parent groups. The default Ungrouped group can be used to view all devices/Exporters that have not been assigned to other maps.

To apply a filter to the map/group tree, enter a string to match in the search field and click the search button.

Hint

The icons in the Network Map tree indicate whether the map is a Spatial Map or a Geographical Map. Click the gear icon to access additional options and actions for that map or object, including running Reports and viewing additional details.

The following settings/options can be accessed from the map view pane:

Update map	Force a map refresh with the latest available flow data
Toggle details	Switch between IP addresses/DNS hostnames and bitrate/utilization
Adjust zoom	Change the zoom level (in, out, reset, stretch) of the map
Edit map	Switch to Map Edit mode to modify map membership and/or settings

Network Maps in Dashboards

To allow for more efficient monitoring workflows, Network Maps can also be added to Plixer Scrutinizer Dashboards, where they can be viewed alongside other Dashboard Gadgets.

While creating or editing a Dashboard, use the dropdown in the Gadget selector to filter for the Maps category and select the Network Maps to add. Each Dashboard can include multiple maps.
