Just out of curiosity for those who use this method. What types of views are you leveraging Group Details pages with Maps for? Any feedback is welcome.

Curious for thoughts on this poll folks: 

sja​ it appears like investigation is taking place and a feature request has been generated on your behalf. This would fall into the NPM teams responsibility and cobrien​. I might suggest generating a feature request in the NPM feature request forum so that others can vote on the idea. Network Performance Monitor Feature…

Unfortunately the screenshots you provided are the "List Resources" view and won't really help identify what is being identified in topology. I am really looking for screenshots of the actual topology resource. Often times this can be found under any entity details page > Network Tab > NPM Network Topology. The screenshots…

Hello smuva​ - I would definitely love to help! This case was escalated to our team, and it looks like we are attempting to coordinate a call which both cobrien​ and I will attend to see if we can help get things on the right path. In the mean time, would you be able to provide a couple screenshots of the NPM Topology…

tallyrich​ - what types of devices are you running?

Enterprise Operations Console 2.1 Now Available!

mr.e​ as a rule, our teams are often working hard to remain on a cadence with each product, and we hope to be able to provide 1-2 releases a year. At times, that cadence may be disrupted for one reason or another. This may be due to a bug fix, or a feature that is important for this version, but rest assured we are doing…

Ok - yes if you are working with an evaluation environment, you should certainly be able to work with your Sales team, have one of the SE's review it with you, and they can help escalate a ticket that will make it to my Dev team. I am happy to jump on a call with you all to assist. Feel free to reach out to me directly…

There shouldn't be anything special that is required of you cnorborg​. This is something I would certainly suggest creating a support case for, and posting the case number back here. The NPM team would need to take a look, and I can help push that request. If possible, I would suggest including diags, snmp walks, and some…

Great! - Allowing users to manual create links and define their specific parameters is a well known request. Ensuring these links blend right along side the rest of the links is also important. Thank you for sharing. Hopefully you are seeing that piece by piece changes are being made. Many of you have requested these…

Really like this info too sir. Thank you for the detail! 

Congrats Rick - I think you get the award for longest reply ever, and I love it! Great feedback as always sir, we really appreciate the details. Just a side note that these are some very particular and detailed requests, and each one of them is not necessarily a simple task. We always strive to meet the needs of each and…

I apologize as I might not be following what you are saying. I am on the thread you mentioned and unfortunately did not receive a response back. I will try to follow up again. I have certainly seen a number of cases related to topology but in majority of all cases, there has been a logical reason why something was…

Understood rschroeder​. Obviously a lot here to take in and tackle but in essence, you are looking for more control, correct? And we will get there, but it will take some time to deliver on your list. To touch on some of what you mentioned, hopefully I can ask a few questions - I added notes inline below... you are welcome…

cnorborg​ - awesome info sir! Thank you! Adding this to the vault.

Thank you for sharing the details cnorborg. To answer your questions, the default behavior is only mapping links in which we have identified specific interfaces on both sides. In other words, using your example above, Orion Maps would show the single connection between Eth 3/37 and GigEth 1/1/1. If you monitor the…

Can you give specifics of what is wrong with the topology engine? What are you not seeing that you feel should be discovered through topology? Are there any example support cases you can share? I would be happy to review them. 

cnorborg If you are talking about strictly topology, the default behavior for the new mapping functionality simply ingests the topology data collected by NPM. The links highlighted below would represent what a user would see if selecting the map view from this particular entity. From your example device, what is showing up…

Intelligent Mapping does not require NCM in order to function. 

alasdairm this is very very interesting... Would you be open to jumping on a call to allow me to take a closer look!?

Awesome feedback pgaryga​! This is something we would really like to accomplish as well. We will see what we can do.

Please also share your maps! If you are able to, please share screenshots of your maps, and stories around where you found this useful in your environment! 

Thank you pgaryga! Stay tuned! More in store as we continue to iterate on this version in subsequent releases. Can you specify what you are hoping for when you say "drill down"? And yes, we certainly have to make sure at some point that users are able to add backgrounds!!! It is a must have!

chunter Even with the latest release, we are already busy working on the next version. We have a lot to do and are very excited about our strategy moving forward. Can you add some detail to your statements for what you would ideally like to see? I don't want to lead you by adding in examples, but would love more specifics.…

david.botfield We have not done anything with the WorldMaps resource yet, but certainly hope to in the future. And yes, we are well aware of the feature request to allow automatic Geo-location via customized fields other than limiting it to SNMP based fields. Great request, and we will see what we can do. 

There are certainly plans for this j_a_catlin​ but not in this particular release. We are well aware of this request and understand the importance of this functionality. 

nickzourdos​ the maps view is incorporated to the "default" device type view currently and can not be added. We have plans to allow users the ability to add the view in the future. 

Thank you! I am glad the visual aspect of this is important - that is the entire premise of maps! I also appreciate the additional information - I need this as part of my investigation and to ensure I have a clear understanding. We are certainly looking into it.

driegel​ Thank you for sharing this information. The maps are one thing - did you happen to check the NPM topology widget and notice any connections being present or disappearing there as well? For example - I should see every connection where I have a monitored interface on both sides here: The updates and new releases we…
