Description

This widget 360 provides a 3D view of a host dependency tree. 

This widget can be very usefull for complex dependency tree:

  • A complex dependency tree is difficult to see in the Dependency Graph Widget. 

  • The Widget 360 provides a clear overview of the tree. 

Each tree node contains the following information of the host:

  • Its name
  • Its status
  • An icon of the host's type. The icon is based on tags detected during the configuration phase.

 


(example: an Apache host will have the feather icon)

 

 

From the chosen host, it displays the 3D dependency tree up to 10 jumps (dependency links between elements defined in the Configuration UI)

The 360 widget displays only hosts.

But if a check on the host has a Critical or a Warning state, the host  will also be displayed in the same state.
