The BigPanda Real-Time Topology Mesh capability renders a visual representation of the relationships between the alert tags of an incident. Use the Topology UI API to customize the visual presentation of the topology graph.
The BigPanda Topology UI API allows users to manually structure the visual appearance of the topology between alert tag nodes, charting information that can be used to aid in investigating the root cause of the incident and assessing potential impact.
