SolarWinds Maps Details
SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor provides “Network Atlas,” a powerful tool for creating custom maps and network diagrams. The maps created in Network Atlas enable users to view a graphical depiction of their network in the Orion Web Console. The maps can also be used to create network documentation, which can then be printed and exported as needed.
Network Atlas gives you the ability to create multi-layered, fully customizable, web-based maps of your network to visually track the performance of network elements, applications, and operations monitored by any of the following Orion applications: Network Performance Monitor, Server & Application Monitor, VoIP & Network Quality Manager, and Enterprise Operations Console.
Map objects may include:
- Monitored NPM nodes, interfaces, and volumes
- SAM applications and components
- Nested maps, and
- Network links.
The numerous presentation options for your network maps include the following:
- A large set of predefined background colors, textures, and images
- Custom background graphics such as floor plans.
- Real-time weather or natural disaster maps may be projected directly onto your network maps using linked web graphics
- The shape, size, color, and style of map links may be customized to illustrate the status or the relative bandwidth of associated objects
- Map objects may be presented in a unique set of graphical styles to portray network status
- Wireless heat maps display the signal strength provided by your wireless access points
- Maps may be nested to selectively reveal increasing levels of map detail, and the status of nested map child objects may be bubbled up to the parent map.
