Abstract: Techniques are described herein for implementing and using a network topology display system configured to display and support interaction with complex and/or multi-site datacenters. The topology display system may provide an interactive user interface, allowing users to navigate to different regions of the network node topology representing the datacenter, and displaying views representing the various sites, levels, and objects of the datacenter. While navigating the topology, a user may select a particular node in the network topology to be pinned, causing the user interface to display data representing the datacenter object corresponding to the selected node. As the user navigates the network topology, additional nodes may be selected to provide additional object data, which may be updated dynamically for a set of pinned nodes configured in different sites or regions of the topology.
