The Map View report enables you to spin-up a customized and situation-specific device map for the selected static and Layer 2 Dynamic groups. This report features similar capabilities of the MY NETWORK map and enables you to organize devices for site-specific operations, refine scope for troubleshooting, and has obvious advantages for system management and inventory scenarios. Please note, when creating a custom map for use within the Map View dashboard report, it should be sized to accommodate the relevant map information when zoomed to fit (). Please note, the zoom in () and zoom out () controls are intended for temporary use and will not persist the next time the dashboard report is loaded.

Map view reports enable:

  • Single view/multiple maps. View device, network, or application assets from multiple perspectives (inventory, availably, performance, for example).
  • Maps organized by site/location/region. Maximize visualization and awareness of critical infrastructure for Network Operations Center (NOC) scenarios
  • Incident tracking. Create map combinations that anticipate critical incidents where distinct indicators (monitor states) will display simultaneously in different views.
  • Distributed map views. Leverage situation-specific maps and leverage screen arrays or wide screen displays (such as those mounted in team areas).
  • Collaboration. Share map views with other WhatsUp Gold users or schedule a snapshot delivery to stakeholders.
