Application Topology

Topology is the arrangement of various elements (Tier, server, and instance) of an application. You can view the NetStorm topology (hierarchy of Tier, Server, and Instance) and only admin users can perform certain operations, such as add, delete, and update a topology. To do this, login as the admin user, and go to Configurations > Application Topology as shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5: Selecting Application Topology

This page is divided into two sections – left and right. On the left section, topology is displayed in a hierarchical view of Tier, server, and instances. On the right pane, details of tier, server, and instance are displayed as per the selection as shown in Figure 6.
