Vertices

Vertices is a standard configuration interface for adding, editing, and removing Vertices as well as special properties. Vertices can be a Device, SLM Service, SLM Metric, etc. and are used to represent these items in the graph database. Properties of the vertices are custom name/value pairs used for meta tagging. Certain Unified Assurance components leverage this meta data for display and/or correlation purposes.

Refer to the Standard Configuration Interface guide for details on interacting with the grid and form.

This user interface calls REST methods from api/graph/vertices.

The UI path for this interface is Configuration -> Graph -> Vertices.

Form Fields

• Name - The name of the object, which must be unique within the graph database.

• Type - The type of the vertex, from the Vertex Types UI. When you filter this list while editing or adding a new vertex, the search string is case-sensitive.

• Vertex Properties - This section contains any additional required properties for the vertex.

  Note:

  Simple text- or numeric-based properties do not need to be pre-configured before they can be applied to vertices. When using the UI, an available property can be added to the vertex, then renamed by selecting the "Name" column value and entering a new value.

  However, more complex properties that are based on other Unified Assurance data should be configured before use. See the Property Types UI for additional information.

• Viewers - The additional User Groups that will be able to see this vertex.
