Dashboard Overview

The Aviatrix Platform Dashboard provides a world map view of your network. Each VPC or VNet discovered by Aviatrix PaaS in your network is displayed.

Some information on the Dashboard is available only for resources that have been onboarded to Aviatrix PaaS. Where applicable, information on the Dashboard will be identified as the following:

  • Aviatrix-managed: Indicates that a VPC or VNet, and its associated resources, have been onboarded with Aviatrix, so they can be managed through Aviatrix PaaS, and a gateway exists in the VPC or VNet.

  • Unmanaged: Indicates the VPC or VNet and associated resources have not been onboarded with Aviatrix.

Geo View

The geographic map shows the approximate locations of your VPCs and VNets across the globe. Both managed and unmanaged resources are represented on the map by badges of the associated CSP (AWS, Azure).

You can click on the badge for any region to display a popup. The popup shows the VPCs or VNets in the region and a link to Explore in Network View. This link opens the Network View in Cloud Fabric > Topology and displays just the resources of the selected region.

See Topology Overview for more information about the Topology page.

Below the Geo View map are menus that affect the map display.

Views

The default view for the Dashboard is Geo View. You can also switch to Network View, which opens the Cloud Fabric > Topology page.

Legend

is a Legend that describes what the colored lines and icons in the map indicate.

The colored lines in the topology map (Geo View) indicate:

  • Green solid line = Connected: all the connections between the regions are up.

  • Orange solid line = Partially Connected: some connections between the regions are up, and others are not.

  • Red solid line = Disconnected: all connections between the regions are down.

Truncate Labels

There is also an option called Truncate Labels that allows you to expand or contract the labels on the map. You can switch between Show Labels, Truncate Labels, and Hide Labels.

Map Controls

The Geo View map controls include Zoom In, Zoom Out, and Reset View.

For large topologies that have many objects represented, you can zoom in to the map for a more granular view.

The Reset View option re-centers the map and returns it to a size that fits the size of the Overview tab.

Resources View

The Resources view is displayed below the geographic map. In the Resources section, the Dashboard shows an inventory of all resources across all clouds in your multicloud network that are managed by Aviatrix PaaS.

The cards displayed for resources include Cloud Accounts, VPC/VNets, and VMs by Cloud. These show a breakdown of each managed resource on a per CSP basis.

Cloud Accounts displays the badges of all CSPs that have been onboarded to Aviatrix PaaS. These accounts can have managed or unmanaged resources.

The VPC/VNets card shows the total number of VPCs and VNets discovered in your network by Aviatrix PaaS. The numbers of Aviatrix-managed VPCs and VNets are shown per cloud service provider (CSP).

The Unmanaged button displays a list of the names and associated CSPs for both managed and unmanaged VPCs and VNets. The list is ordered by unmanaged resources first.

The VMs by Cloud card includes a bar chart and a donut chart that show the distribution of virtual machines (VMs) per CSP. Only Aviatrix-managed (onboarded) VMs are shown.

You can hover over the donut chart to see a breakdown of the VMs by CSP.
