The Network Performance Monitor Map Maker has several geographic templates included. An existing network topology map or any image can be used. The Map Maker can take this image of a map and place current network nodes and interfaces on the map. Multiple maps can be linked to allow the ability to drill down.

The example on the left shows a world map with several nodes and regions identified by the different dots. The larger dots represent regions containing multiple nodes while the smaller dots represent individual sites. Build a site with as many layers of grouped maps as desired.

When a Region is selected, the corresponding map for that region is displayed (second map). The green, yellow, and red dots indicate sites with all nodes available or sites with alerts. The parameters can be adjusted so that a summary indicator changes to an alert condition.

Map Maker can import network topology maps and diagrams. This allows the use of existing network topology maps and add them to the Orion Network Performance Monitor.

Please note the maps are also associated to the customers authorisation level. If a specific user is not authorised to view a location or subnet, his map will not go into alert condition if a device outside the scope of authorisation fails. Customers only view the portion of the network defined.
