The Topology widget is an interactive topology graph, showing the status and relationships between the different resources and entities of the OpenStack providers that Red Hat CloudForms has access to.

  • The topology graph includes instances, nodes, and other cloud resources within the overall OpenStack cloud provider environment.
  • Each entity in the graph displays a color indication of its status.
  • Hovering over any individual graph element will display a summary of details for the individual element.
  • Double-click the entities in the graph to navigate to their summary pages.
  • It is possible to drag elements to reposition the graph.
  • Click the legend at the top of the graph to show or hide entities.
  • Click Display Names on the right-hand side of the page to show or hide entity names.

  1. Navigate to Compute → Cloud → Providers.
  2. Click the desired OpenStack cloud provider for viewing the provider summary.
  3. On the provider summary page, click Topology in the Overview box on the right-hand side of the page.
