Server Dependency tab

A typical NetVault environment consists of many interrelated components. Understanding the dependencies between specific components in your monitored environment and the levels of resources they consume allows you to better understand resource-related issues, potentially affecting the stability of your system. This can help you predict the impact a potential outage may have.

The Server Dependency tab visualizes the relationships between the objects in your environment through an interactive dependency map. The map illustrates how different components relate to each other, and the levels of the available resources available to them. The Server Dependency tab provides a quick and easy way to view components grouped by device.

In a large multi-component environment, dependency maps are likely complex and may not fit your screen. The NAVIGATOR in the bottom-right corner allows you to easily set the zoom level by dragging the slider into the appropriate position. In addition,

To find out more about an object appearing in the dependency map, click the object icon. A dwell appears, displaying more details about that object. The type and range of information appearing in the dialog box depends on the selected object’s type.
