The Heat Map answers the question: Which servers (connections) require the most urgent attention? The Heat Map is a visual display that organizes connections based on the comparative number and severity of their alarms.
The Heat Map is an accurate reflection of the current environment. It refreshes itself automatically when connections are added and removed and when there is a change in the alarm status of any of the connections.
