Map/diagrams with status & drill-down

Ok, this might be beyond the limits of a browser, but it would be great to be able to upload a visio (or an image) of the network schematic and then be able to map certain parts of the image to a host. A bit like the google maps does, however the customer would see an instance visual representation of the network and be able to see instantly which device is causing the issue.

The other way to do this would be to use standard images for common network objects (negating the need to upload an image). So you would select Router, Switch, Email Server, AD Server, Firewall etc and then make map of the network.

    I agree, Solarwinds and PRTG among other enterprise monitoring solutions both run in web browsers and have extensive map designer capabilities where you can have regional maps or logical maps. you can Map nodes to a host and drill down by layer. Can even upload your rack diagrams as maps or visios.  I would hope that this is on the road map for LogicMonitor as well.

    I too agree. Allow ability to show basic host/device stats upon hover-over. Change color of object to depict health of host/device or group.

    I had another request for this from a customer the other day, the IT manager wants to put it on a big screen in his ops room. It would make LM a much easier to sell if we could have this.

    Previously I used NetIQ Operations Center (formerly Managed Objects) which allowed the creation of any kind of service view using SVG drawings.  Objects for the element tree could then be mapped to any shape in the SVG drawing.  It was great for creating business process service views with drawing elements given state from monitored objects.  It's one thing I really miss in LogicMonitor, so I too would like to see something like this.  Now that most of the world is on HTML5 standards based browsers, it should be easier to implement something like this.  Visio has an SVG export so that could be a starting point.
