Showing events in geographical context

Use the GIS Device Health View to view events and devices in their geographical context. The GIS Device Health View consists of the GIS Device Map displayed above the Event Viewer.

1. Click Incident > Network Geography > GIS Device Health View.

   The GIS Device Health View is displayed.

2. Select one or more devices in the GIS Device Map to display events for those devices in the Event Viewer.
3. Select a location in the GIS Device Map to display events for the devices contained by that location in the Event Viewer.
4. Select an event in the Event Viewer to update the map to show the affected device.
   This feature can be disabled by an administrator.
5. Review the device and location icons to see events on devices or locations.

   The following icons are available:

   Devices

   Devices are represented by the same icons that are used in network views. The status of devices is shown on the map in the same way as in a Network View. Hover over a device to view customizable details about the device, such as events on the device, location data, and discovery data. Right-click on the information window to show more information. For example, you can open the Structure Browser or Hop View for a device. You can also show events on the device.

   Links

   The status of links is shown on the map in the same way as in a Network View. Hover over a link to display customizable information about the link, such as the topology layer over which the link runs, and event status. Click on any row within the information window to show more information. For example, you can open the Structure Browser or Hop View for a device on one end of the link. You can also show events on the link.

   Locations

   Locations are represented by building icons. Locations are groups of devices in the same physical location. You can take the following actions on devices:

   Display contained devices

   To display all the devices in a location, double-click the location. A window displays that shows the devices in the location, and the aggregate event status of those devices.

   Filter contained devices

   Click the Filter icon to chose which devices to display for that location. You can filter by any of the available columns. You can create multiple filter conditions.

   View device details

   Hover over a device to view details about the device, including events on the device, location data, and discovery data.

   Loopback links

   Links to all devices in a location are represented by a loopback link icon (a circle). Click on a location loopback link to view the constituent links.

6. To filter the items that are shown in the map, click the Map Configuration icon in the upper left of the GIS Device Map. Select the Topology Filtering tab in the Map Configuration window.
   1. Select domains in the Domain section to include and exclude devices by domain.
   2. Select device classes in the Device Class section to include and exclude devices by class.
   3. Select the option in the Connectivity section to display or hide links between devices or locations.
   4. Select the option in the Connectivity section to enable or disable links within locations.
   5. Select network layers in the Connectivity section to include and exclude links on a particular network layer.
7. To configure how event status is shown on the GIS Device Map, click the Topology Status tab in the Map Configuration window.
   1. Select the option to enable or disable event status.
   2. Select a severity less than which status is not displayed for devices and locations.
   3. Select a severity less than which status is not displayed for links.
