Chapter 11: Dependency maps
Only those virtual infrastructure items that are related to what is in context
will be displayed on the dependency map.
Setting context
To reset the context, click Show Entire Environment on the left. This puts all
clusters in your virtual environment in context. By definition, this means that each
box contains all entities: VMs, hosts, datastores, and applications.
To set the context to just a few items currently in the map:
1. Select the small check box in the upper left corner of the items you want.
2. Click Context in the main box to put the selected items in context.
Understanding alerts
In all boxes, any entity that has an alert firing displays a colored icon. Hover over
the item to get details of the alerts that are currently firing.
The colors and their meanings are the following:
Color Meaning
No color No alerts
Blue Informational
Yellow Warning
Red Critical
This legend is displayed in the top right of the dependency map. Clear the
relevant check boxes to fade alerts into the background if you do not want to see
them.
