Configuring Network Topology

Network Topology detection allows Opsview to discover connections between monitored hosts and neighboring network devices to build up a topology map. For detection to work correctly, the following prerequisites must be met:

Configuring Collector Clusters Copied

Before Network Topology detection can run from a Collector Cluster, you must enable it via the Cluster configuration menu for that Cluster on the Menubar > Configuration > Collector Management page.

Simply click the toggle to enable Network Topology on the cluster.

Enable Network Topology

Once this is enabled, when the next scheduled detection runs, if the prerequisites are met, a Network Topology map will be generated for that cluster. It can be accessed by clicking the menu icon for that cluster and then selecting View Topology:

Enabled View Topology

You might not be able to immediately view the Network Topology map for a cluster - see Troubleshooting - I cannot “View Topology” for a particular cluster.

Configuring scheduled Network Topology detection and running manually Copied

Network Topology detection must be configured to run on a schedule, or manually triggered, in order to generate a Network Topology map.

Please contact ITRS Support for assistance. Ensure that the optional feature is included in your Opsview license.
