Topology

Overview

Interactive multi-perspective visualization of your infrastructure.

The topology generates an interactive visualization of your infrastructure, showing hosts, services, subnets, and their relationships. You can view your infrastructure from four different perspectives, each answering a different question.

Perspectives

Each perspective shows a different angle of your infrastructure:

  • L2 Physical — How is my network physically wired?
  • L3 Logical — How is my network logically segmented?
  • Workloads — Where does everything run, and what's inside what?
  • Application — How do my services depend on each other?

Switch between perspectives using the perspective selector in the toolbar. Each perspective has its own grouping options and edge types.

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 container sizes. Edge handle positions are preserved when possible.

Refining Your Topology

After initial discovery, these refinements make your topology more accurate across all perspectives.

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.

Edit Mode

Toggle Edit Mode in the toolbar to enable drag-to-reposition and resize. When edit mode is off, you can pan and zoom without accidentally moving things.

Exporting

Click Export to download a PNG of your topology with all customizations and positioning intact.
