Topology

Interactive network visualization.

The topology view generates an interactive diagram of your network structure, showing hosts, services, subnets, and their relationships.

Topology States

The topology indicator shows whether your visualization is current with the underlying data.

StateMeaning
Up to DateAll data is current. No action needed.
StaleNew entities added since last rebuild. Click Rebuild to include them.
ConflictEntities have been deleted. Click Rebuild to review removals before applying.
LockedLayout is frozen. Toggle with Lock/Unlock to preserve positioning.
Auto RebuildRebuilds automatically after changes. Convenient, but resets manual positioning.

Note: Rebuilding resets node positions and subnet sizes. Edge handle positions are preserved when possible.

Refining Your Topology

After initial discovery, these refinements make your diagram more accurate.

If you have Proxmox hosts, open each one and use the Virtualization tab to specify which hosts are VMs or containers running on it. They'll be highlighted and clustered together in the topology.

See Virtualization Relationships.

Create Groups

Use groups to show request paths, dependencies, and data flows between services that network topology alone doesn't capture.

See Groups.

Manage External Dependencies

The default Internet and Remote Network subnets at the top of your topology are for tracking external services. Add your external dependencies there, or delete these subnets via Manage > Subnets if you don't need them.

See Organizational Subnets.

Assign Unclaimed Ports

Open hosts and go to Services > Unclaimed Open Ports to assign detected ports to the services that are actually listening on them.

See Unclaimed Open Ports.

Consolidate Multi-NIC Hosts

Hosts detected across multiple VLANs can be merged into a single logical host.

See Consolidating Duplicate Hosts.

Clean Up the Diagram

Two options in the panel on the right are particularly useful for reducing clutter:

  • Hide Stuff > Categories > Open Port — Hides unclaimed ports
  • Docker > Group Docker Bridges — Collapses Docker bridge networks into one subnet per host

Adjusting the Layout

  • Drag nodes to reposition hosts and services
  • Drag subnet corners to resize containers
  • Click edges to show handles, then drag to reroute connections

Use Lock to preserve your layout after arranging things.

Exporting
