5.0 Exploring Element Hierarchies

The Network view provides a dynamic graphical interface that enables moving across the entire enterprise, managing applications, servers, and network components.

The Network view displays relationships among system components within a large infrastructure. The Network view displays the selected element at the center, with spokes connecting to first-level child elements. Additional lines connect the first level elements to their children. The line colors identify the conditions of the child elements.

The Network view might not be available to users who are not in the administrators group if it was disabled. For more information, see Disabling the Network and Layout Views in the Operations Center Server Configuration Guide.

The element selected in the Explorer pane determines which elements display in the Network view and whether the entire network displays or only a portion of it. The elements displayed in the Network view also depend on user access privileges.

There are various ways to move around the Network view. Use menu options and toolbar buttons to view different levels of detail.

Initially, the element selected in the Explorer pane displays in the center of the Network view.
