Understanding Events on the Map

Events are added to Oracle Communications Unified Assurance Vision by streaming them directly from Unified Assurance or by uploading them in the form of raw JSON to the custom tab. See Custom for more information on how to add custom events to Vision.

Events in Unified Assurance are also enriched with coordinates, weather, and power data (where available). Events within Vision are color coded to correspond with their severity. This color coding is as follows in order of highest to lowest:

• Critical - Red
• Major - Orange
• Minor - Yellow
• Info - Blue
• Unknown - Purple
• Normal - Green

Each section in the severity bar has two numbers. The first is the number of events currently on the map matching that severity and the second is the total number of events matching that severity in Vision including those events not currently displayed on the map.

Events are represented on the map in a number of formats:

• Single Marker Events
• Clustered Marker Events
• Link Events
• Dashboard Events

Single Marker

A single marker event appears on the map as shown in the following figure.

The icon in the centre of the marker indicates the layer of the associated event. The color of the marker reflects the severity of the event. In the given example, the code is green for normal.

Clustered Marker Events

Single marker events are clustered together to prevent over saturation of the map. This occurs when, at the current zoom level, any markers are too close to each other to be displayed separately. A cluster of markers appears like this on the map:

The number in the centre represents the number of events within that cluster. The colored segments around the outside of the centre blue circle show the percentage of markers of each severity within that cluster.

Link Events

Link events will display on the map as a colored line. The color of the line represents the severity of the event.

When at a higher zoom level, the event will show the line but also blue triangles that represent the entities at either end of the link, as shown in the following figure.

Dashboard Events

Dashboard events will be displayed when a Dashboard has been configured to be shown on the map.
