Panoramic Topology Map¶
The Panoramic Topology Map automatically discovers and visualizes the invocation and ownership relationships between entities such as cloud resources, services, and databases within your workspace. It generates a real-time, interactive panoramic architecture view to help you quickly understand the overall system architecture, trace resource dependency chains, and identify the scope of fault impacts.
Access Method¶
Navigate to Unified Catalog > Panoramic Topology Map. The system displays all entities and their relationships within the current workspace by default.
Canvas Display¶
The canvas presents entity nodes and their relationships graphically:
-
Entity Nodes: Display various types of entities (systems, services, hosts, databases, cloud resources, etc.) as icons. The display of names adjusts automatically based on canvas zoom level.
-
Relationship Lines:
- Solid Arrow Lines: Represent invocation relationships, with the arrow pointing to the callee.
- Dashed Boxes: Represent containment relationships, showing the subordinate ownership of resources.
When the number of entities is large, the system automatically filters some projects or types for display.
Automatic Convergence Mechanism¶
When the number of entities exceeds 1,000, the system displays only a subset by default to ensure smooth page performance. The display rules are as follows:
- Priority by Project Filtering: The system first attempts to display entities from multiple projects, aiming to cover a broader project scope, but the total number of entities within a single view does not exceed 1,000.
- Filtering by Type: If the number of entities within a single project already exceeds 1,000, the system switches to displaying entities in batches by entity type, prioritizing core resources such as systems, hosts, and services.
In this case, a prompt "Some results have been filtered by default" appears on the page. You can view details of entities not displayed by adjusting the top filter conditions (e.g., specifying a particular project, system, or type).
Filtering¶
Supports filtering entities across multiple dimensions to display only those meeting the specified conditions.
Common filter dimensions such as Project, Cloud Account, Region, System Name, and Tags are provided by default. Click More on the right side of the filter bar to add other dimensions like Cloud Provider, Entity Type, Environment, etc.
Your filter configuration is automatically saved and restored the next time you access the page.
Grouped Display¶
Supports logically grouping entities by multiple dimensions. The architecture diagram automatically arranges entities into partitions based on the selected groups, clearly showing resource distribution and organizational structure.
Grouping by Project and Cloud Account is enabled by default.
Grouping Levels:
- The grouping order determines the nesting hierarchy: The 1st group forms the outermost region, the 2nd group is nested inside the 1st, and so on, supporting up to 5 levels of nesting.
- Grouping regions at different levels are distinguished by borders of different colors.
- Click the collapse button on the title bar of a grouping region to collapse it. When collapsed, the group name and entity count are displayed. Click to expand it again.
Grouping configurations are automatically saved and restored the next time you access the page.
Search and Locate¶
Quickly find entities through search. Matching entities are highlighted in the diagram and automatically positioned within the view.
Save View¶
For topology views of key entities, you can save the current filter conditions and grouping settings as a custom view for quick future reference and team sharing.
- Click the Save View button on the right side of the top toolbar on the canvas, and enter a view name to save the current configuration.
- Click View List to slide out the panel listing saved views. You can view, apply, edit, or delete saved views from this list.
