Using view mode to monitor objects in the Graph view

When the Graph view is in view mode, you can monitor the status of the objects that are displayed in either a hierarchical tree or a stacked layout.

To toggle the Graph view layout

You can select to view the objects in the Graph view in a traditional hierarchical tree or with each layer in the hierarchy displayed in a separate pane.

At the top of the display pane, click the Toggle topology/stacked graph icon stackedgraphtoggle.gifto select one of the following options:

  • Topology: displays the objects in a hierarchical tree. You can also select the type of layout (circular, organic, hierarchic, or orthogonal), and orientation (Top to Bottom, Bottom to Top, Left to Right, or Right to Left) of the nodes in the tree. For more information about this layout format, see Using-the-topology-layout-format-in-the-Graph-view.
  • Stacked graph: displays objects in each level of the hierarchy in a separate pane and resizes the icons representing each object so that all objects are visible in the view. If the nodes are displayed less than full size, a focus frame is displayed. Slide this frame over the nodes that you want to view full size. Use the stacked graph option if you are viewing an environment with a large number of nodes; for example, a pool with a large number of hosts. For more information about this layout format, see Using-the-stacked-graph-layout-format-in-the-Graph-view.
