Displaying event topology

If the resource on which an event occurred can be located in the network topology system, then a large dot is presented in the event's Topology column. Click the large dot to display a topology map for this event, centered on the resource on which the event occurred.

1. Identify events that have an associated resource in the network topology.
   • Flat events that is, events that are not part of an event group, that have an associated resource in the network topology, have a large dot immediately visible in their Topology column.
   • Events that are part of an event group, that have an associated resource in the network topology also have a large dot in their Topology column, but you must first open the event group in order to see the event. Open an event group by clicking the Down chevron icon on the parent event group row.
2. Click the large dot in the Topology column for the event of interest.
   A side panel containing multiple information sections opens in the table.The Topology section is open.
   The Topology section provides the following information:

   Resource

   Name of the resource on which the event of interest occurred.

   Begin time

   Date and time when the topology for this resource was last updated.

   Observed time

   Date and time when the event of interest was observed on this resource.

   Topology pane

   Contains showing a topology map for this event, centered on the resource on which the event occurred.

3. If you have sufficient user permissions, then you can investigate the topology further.
   1. Click the More information link at the end of the side panel's Topology section.
      This action launches out to the topology management service in a separate browser tab, which displays the same topology map, with the full topology display experience. For more information on how to use the topology management service to explore topology, see the related link at the end of this topic.
   2. Click the Events breadcrumb to return to the Events page.
