What is a Diagram?

A Diagram is a custom-made map containing the information that you would like to see. Diagrams are highly customizable, and as such, are able to show as much or as little information that should be displayed to a user.

Unified Assurance's Diagram Engine provides all of the diagram editing and display capabilities within the software. The Diagram Engine is also multitenant ready, allowing unique, real-time views of data in whatever manner is useful. The Diagram Engine provides the following features:

• Intuitive, embedded diagram editor with drag-and-drop assembly.

• Diagram version control and cloning capabilities.

• Real-time widgets for events and metrics including gauges and graphs.

• Support for context (right-click) menus and tools for event and metric widgets.

• Multitenancy functionality supported for customized views.

• Dynamic Device diagram templates reduce administration.

Diagrams can draw in a wide range of performance metrics, event data, SLM data, and topology data from underlying systems, and are configurable to serve the needs of a wide-ranging set of users from CIOs and CTOs to NOC managers, NOC operators, customers, etc.

How do I create a Diagram?

You use the following interfaces to create a diagram:

• Configuration -> Diagrams -> Diagrams

• Configuration -> Diagrams -> Diagram Groups

• Configuration -> Diagrams -> Menus

• Configuration -> Diagrams -> Tools

See Diagram Design in Unified Assurance Implementation Guide for information about creating diagrams.

Diagrams Navigation Explained

When the Diagrams navigation pane is displayed, you will see the Diagram Group that has been assigned as your user groups Restrictive Diagram Group, and any Diagrams that are in the group. You will also see child Diagram Groups and any Diagrams in the child groups. For example, using this layout:

• Root (Diagram Group)

  • Diagram Group 1

    • Diagram Group 3

      • Diagram E

      • Diagram F

    • Diagram C

  • Diagram Group 2

    • Diagram D

  • Diagram A

  • Diagram B

You will see the following in the view:

• If the user group's restrictive diagram group is set to Root, you will see the entire layout.

• If the user group's restrictive diagram group is set to Diagram Group 1, you will see Diagram C as it is a member of Diagram Group 1. You will also see Diagram Group 3, which can be expanded to show Diagram E and Diagram F.
