Container View - Network | System | Application

[samrog]

Would like to understand how Traverse identifies a test is either Network, System or Application. You see this when looking at the Status / Containers view and only when you have selected the 'Top Level' or a parent container.

Sam,

Every test (metric) in Traverse has a display category pre-configured and this determines the Network/System/Application classification on the container summary views. As support for a new category of test if added to Traverse, an appropriate category is assigned by our product team. For example, when monitoring the up/down status of a switch port, Traverse knows that this type of test has been classified as Network and thus uses the test status to determine the overall status of that category. This type of classification is configured globally.
