Maps page in the KVM Overview view

The Treemap view is a space-filling visualization view that displays data in a hierarchical structure. It displays hierarchical, or tree-structured, data as a set of nested rectangles. It is especially effective in revealing attributes of nodes using size and color coding.

To access the KVM Maps view in the navigation pane of Views tab, select Views > Virtualization > KVM > Overview > Maps tab.

Each outer rectangle represents the parent entity and the inner rectangles are the child entities, as shown in the following image:
