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.| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Hosts Online | Total number of reachable hosts across all roles |
| Role Groups | Count of distinct role groups (controller, compute, storage, monitoring) |
| Active Links | Number of network pathways between hosts currently carrying traffic |
| Overall Health | Aggregate cluster status: Healthy, Degraded, or Critical |
| Cluster Name | The configured cluster identifier from your deployment |
| Region | Geographic or logical region label assigned during configuration |
| Version | Currently 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:| Color | Status | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Green | Healthy | All services running, host reachable, no active alerts |
| Yellow | Warning | One or more services degraded, resource usage approaching thresholds |
| Red | Critical | Host unreachable, core service failure, or active critical alert |
| Gray | Standby | Host 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.| Plane | Color | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Management | Blue | API calls, SSH access, Ansible communication, inter-service messaging |
| Storage | Green | Xloud Distributed Storage replication traffic and client I/O |
| External | Orange | Virtual machine internet access, floating IP routing |
| Octavia | Purple | Load balancer management traffic and health monitor probes |
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.| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Source | Originating host name and IP address |
| Destination | Target host name and IP address |
| Plane | Network plane this connection belongs to (management, storage, external, octavia) |
| Status | Connection health: Active, Degraded, or Down |
| Latency | Measured 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.
