Topology

Overview

The Topology contains the reconstructed network. All assets discovered and identified by the analytics engine will be displayed within the topology, both graphically and within a table.

The Topology section contains 3 tabs and each tab can be modified to create a custom view:

• Network
• Inventory
• External Hosts

Network Tab

The Network tab contains the visualization of the reconstructed network topology. Within this view, users will see all physical and logical connections between assets.

Hovering over an asset within the topology with provide the user with a high level summary of the asset.

Left-clicking on an asset with provide the user with detailed information about the asset. This information will be displayed within the Inspector panel. Users can select more than 1 asset to view information about multiple assets.

Asset Search

Users can search for a specific asset within the network topology. The following metadata will be searched: Hostnames, IP Address, OS, MAC Address, Model, Tags, and ID.

When searching for an asset, any asset containing the search criteria will be highlighted within the topology and displayed within the search dropdown. Assets which do not match the search criteria will be grayed out. The search text field allows for generic regular expressions.

Left-clicking on an item within the search dropdown will select it within the topology.

See the table below for sample search criteria and results:

Inventory Tab
