Topology Mapping

Hello, I am attempting to check out the Mapping tab and i am able to add a resource but there is nothing in the outgoing or incoming edges.  I am also not seeing any way to add these manually...

Hi @starboy9 ,

The edges are discovered by TopologySources. The TopologySources are usually using some discovery logic (e.g. SNMP, API) to discover edges for monitored resources with ERIs (external resource Ids). The ERI properties are typically populated by PropertySources or DataSource AD scripts. So to ensure edges are discovered (and therefore available for display in maps), you need to ensure you have:

  1. 1. imported TopologySources into your account (Settings | LogicModules | TopologySources | Add | From LogicMonitor Repository)
  2. 2. imported PropertySources into your account (Settings | LogicModules | PropertySources | Add | From LogicMonitor Repository)

Do note that we do not have topology coverage for all technologies at this time, so even with the steps above you will not see topology for technologies we don't yet support. What are you trying to map?

Hopefully this helps! Let us know if you have questions. 

Thanks,
Sarah
