Cloud Fleet provides a visual bird’s-eye map of your entire cluster. Every host appears as a node in an interactive force-directed graph, colored by health status and connected by network planes. Click any host to inspect live metadata. Use Cloud Fleet to understand relationships between servers, validate high availability placement, and explain architecture to stakeholders.
Prerequisites
  • All cluster hosts configured in Hosts
  • At least one successful deployment via Operations
  • SSH connectivity established to all nodes

Fleet Dashboard

The top statistics bar provides an immediate summary of your entire infrastructure. These values update in real time as Cloud Fleet queries the cluster.
MetricDescription
Hosts OnlineTotal number of reachable hosts across all roles
Role GroupsCount of distinct role groups (controller, compute, storage, monitoring)
Active LinksNumber of network pathways between hosts currently carrying traffic
Overall HealthAggregate cluster status: Healthy, Degraded, or Critical
Cluster NameThe configured cluster identifier from your deployment
RegionGeographic or logical region label assigned during configuration
VersionCurrently deployed XAVS platform version
A cluster is Healthy when all hosts are reachable and all services are running. Degraded indicates at least one host or service is in a warning state. Critical means one or more hosts are unreachable or core services have failed.

Topology View

The topology view is a three-panel layout that displays infrastructure relationships, the interactive map, and detailed metadata simultaneously.

Context Sidebar

Displays role distribution with host counts per role, available network planes (management, storage, external, octavia), and a searchable, filterable host list. Use the search bar to locate specific hosts by name or IP address.

Interactive Map

SVG force-directed topology graph with drag-to-pan, scroll-to-zoom, and dedicated controls for zoom in, zoom out, fit-to-screen, and reset. Hosts are rendered as color-coded nodes based on health status. Network connections between hosts appear as color-coded lines representing their respective network planes.

Detail Inspector

Click any host node or network connection to populate the inspector panel. Displays: resource type, hostname, metadata (IP addresses, role assignments, installed services), health signals, dependency chain, and related network paths.

Health Status Colors

Each host node in the topology graph is colored by its current health state:
ColorStatusMeaning
GreenHealthyAll services running, host reachable, no active alerts
YellowWarningOne or more services degraded, resource usage approaching thresholds
RedCriticalHost unreachable, core service failure, or active critical alert
GrayStandbyHost configured but not yet deployed or intentionally powered off

Network Planes

Cloud Fleet visualizes the four distinct network planes that connect your cluster nodes. Each plane is rendered as a separate set of color-coded connections on the topology map.
PlaneColorPurpose
ManagementBlueAPI calls, SSH access, Ansible communication, inter-service messaging
StorageGreenXloud Distributed Storage replication traffic and client I/O
ExternalOrangeVirtual machine internet access, floating IP routing
OctaviaPurpleLoad balancer management traffic and health monitor probes
Export the topology as SVG or PNG for architecture documentation and stakeholder presentations. Use the export controls in the top-right corner of the interactive map.
If a network plane appears disconnected between two hosts, verify the physical cabling, VLAN tagging, and interface assignment in Hosts. A missing storage plane connection degrades replication performance and can lead to data unavailability.

Connection Inventory

Below the topology map, a tabular inventory lists every link between hosts in the cluster. Use this table to audit connectivity at a glance.
ColumnDescription
SourceOriginating host name and IP address
DestinationTarget host name and IP address
PlaneNetwork plane this connection belongs to (management, storage, external, octavia)
StatusConnection health: Active, Degraded, or Down
LatencyMeasured round-trip time between the two hosts
The connection inventory updates automatically as the topology map refreshes. Filter by plane type or status to focus on specific segments of your infrastructure.
