01 One identity across the estate
Reconcile observations from network protocols, APIs, Agents, Flow, logs and configuration into canonical entities. The same physical or logical resource retains a connected identity, reducing fragmented views across monitoring domains.
02 Physical, logical and routing layers
Explore physical connectivity, L2/L3 relationships, routing, MPLS, VXLAN/EVPN, SD-WAN and traffic views. Move between layers to understand whether an apparent service problem originates in access, transport, overlay or another dependency.
03 Compute, cloud and storage relationships
Follow clusters, hosts, VMs, containers, datastores, databases and cloud resources through their relevant dependencies. A common graph lets teams trace a shared resource across the infrastructure boundaries that separate their consoles.
04 Runtime service discovery
Enrich service dependencies from ingress, workload, OpenTelemetry and observed runtime communication evidence. Connect application services to databases, caches, queues and external APIs while keeping the evidence behind inferred edges visible.
05 Historical topology during the incident
View relationships within their validity period and compare graph state before, during and after an incident. A later migration, pod replacement or route update does not have to overwrite the topology that explains the original problem.
06 Provenance, confidence and freshness
Inspect where a relationship came from, when it was observed or verified and how certain the association is. Distinguish observed, inferred, provisional and governed relationships so the map communicates both knowledge and uncertainty.
07 Dependencies that understand resilience
Model critical, optional, redundant, active/standby, quorum and weighted dependencies. Service health can account for the role of a failed component and the surviving paths, giving operators a more useful impact assessment than a simple component rollup.
08 Business-service impact and ownership
Connect services with criticality, site, technical and business owners, support teams and provider context. Project the affected scope through supported dependency relationships to focus escalation and explain the service consequence.
09 Governed custom maps and CMDB context
Build operational views using sites, groups, services, links and labels, with layouts suited to the audience. User-defined relationships retain their declared source, and CMDB reconciliation preserves the boundary between observed technical state and governed inventory.
10 Graph-supported investigation
Open the relevant incident, timeline, path, Flow or configuration evidence from a selected entity or relationship. Preserve the service and time context so the map becomes a working investigation surface rather than a separate diagram.
